What happens during child custody proceedings
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Tuesday, September 4, 2018. Parents in Missouri who must go through child custody proceedings might wonder what to expect. The courtroom for a child custody hearing is usually smaller than other types of courtrooms, and fewer people will be present. It is important for parents to dress appropriately for a court appearance. Parents should also prepare for questions such as what kind of living arrangements are in place for the child and what kind of emotional support the parent can offer. An attorney can help a parent with
Court rules that children of divorce need both parents
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Friday, June 15, 2018. Missouri couples who are going through divorce proceedings may have special concerns if children are involved. A recent court ruling in Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s marital split has brought to light how courts often look at child custody and visitation. The couple separated and eventually divorced due to allegations of child abuse raised by Jolie against Pitt in 2016. Pitt was later cleared of the accusations. As far as the couple’s children, however, the court has ruled that Pitt is to be allowed

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Tuesday, May 29, 2018.

According to a recent study, 45 percent of all family law attorneys noticed an increase in women being ordered to pay alimony over the past three years. The study, authored
Income and the chances of divorce
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Friday, May 18, 2018. There are certain factors that may make Missouri residents more likely to get a divorce. One of these factors includes situations in which women begin earning more than their husbands after having entered the marriage earning less or not working. According to a study conducted by Swedish researchers, couples in this situation have a higher chance of getting divorced. One of the reasons for the higher likelihood of a divorce when women begin earning more than their husbands is that it can be difficult for
Business valuation key in divorce property division
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Wednesday, May 2, 2018. When Missouri business owners consider divorce, they may be concerned about the effect of the split on their family business. In many cases, the most significant asset that a couple has is the business, and it can add complex concerns to the property division process. In order to deal with the business accurately and fairly in the divorce, it is important to establish a proper valuation for the enterprise and look closely at how business income affects the marriage. During a high-asset divorce, detailed financial
The pros and cons of bird nesting
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in family law on Tuesday, April 17, 2018. Missouri residents may have heard of a new trend in parenting after divorce called “bird nesting.” The arrangement allows the children to remain in the family home while the parents take turns living there with them. This type of child custody solution has gotten mainstream attention as the premise of the show “Splitting Up Together.” It features divorced parents who have chosen to live together with their children.
