HOLIDAY SEASON 2020 – COVID STYLE

October 19, 2020 By Gratia Schoemakers

COVID holiday season

Can you believe it? The Holidays are upon us. I do not know where the year went. I guess COVID messed with my internal clock or something because although I cannot wait for the "New Normal" to return to the "Old Normal," COVID will impact how we celebrate this Holiday Season. Before I go any further, I cannot stress the importance of complying with your court order! No one should willfully violate a court order. "Willful disobedience."

July 25, 2019 By Gratia Schoemakers Leave a Comment

estate plan

There are many things we think will NEVER happen to us. One of them would certainly be Divorce, because who would get married knowing it would set them up to go through one of the most difficult and emotionally draining periods of their life?
