In re Marriage of Young Case
Griffiths Law recently prevailed in a contested appeal called In re Marriage of Young. Attorneys Eliza Steinberg, Christopher Griffiths, and Duncan Griffiths represented the appellant in the case and successfully convinced the Colorado Court of Appeals to reverse the decision of the trial court below. The decision was published on July 15, 2021.
The decision is the first of its kind to discuss recent changes to the way in which a court must analyze a motion to modify maintenance. The court in Young explained that the trial court may consider the C.R.S. 14-10-114 statutory factors but is not required to do so. The decision also contains a lengthy discussion about how and when a person is voluntarily underemployed for purposes of calculating maintenance.
