Good reasons to sell the marital home
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Thursday, January 18, 2018. One of the most important decisions an Illinois couple that is going through a divorce is whether or not to keep the marital home. While it may be tempting for them to keep it, there may be many reasons not to. In many cases, this asset is tied to guilt, disappointment and anxiety. People may feel guilty about selling the home a child grew up in or upset about having to move regardless of the reason why. In some cases, keeping the home may
Some first responders blame victims of domestic violence
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Domestic Violence on Tuesday, January 16, 2018. Many victims of domestic violence in Illinois may not know what to do when physical abuse becomes an emergency except to dial 911 and hope that first responders will be able to help keep them safe. Family law can provide a temporary restraining order or permanent protective order, but not everyone in a dispute over legal issues will abide by them, meaning that police and paramedics may be needed. The attitudes of first responders may disappoint or even horrify those making emergency calls after
Men are victims of domestic abuse too
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Domestic Violence on Friday, January 12, 2018. Illinois men and women can be victims of domestic violence, which is a form of abuse that occurs between spouses or others who are related to each other. Men have the same rights under the law as women do if they are victims of such actions. In addition to hitting or other acts of physical violence, domestic abuse can be inflicted verbally, sexually or psychologically. While extreme events such as violence with foreign objects or murder may get attention from the media, any abuse
New laws are changing child custody determinations
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Thursday, January 11, 2018. Child custody laws have changed in Illinois and many other states in recent years. It was once common for one parent, often the mother, to be awarded primary custody and for the other parent to be awarded visitation on alternating weekends and holidays. Many states have enacted new laws that favor joint custody. The sweeping changes have been enacted in response to lobbying by father’s rights organizations that promote gender equality and equal parenting time. Courts have previously recognized the “tender years doctrine” that
Ex-wife of Mel Gibson being sued by accounting firm
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Saturday, January 6, 2018. Illinois celebrity watchers might be interested in the latest legal battle for Mel Gibson’s former partner, Oksana Grigorieva. The 47-year-old singer and mother of two is being sued by a forensic accounting firm that alleges that it helped her secure a child support increase from Gibson for their daughter, Lucia. Grigorieva filed for bankruptcy in 2015, and later hired the firm White, Zuckerman, Warsavsky, Luna and Hunt to investigate Gibson’s finances for her case to get an increase in child support payments from the
Why supervised visitation may be necessary
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Friday, January 5, 2018. If there are serious questions about an Illinois parent’s ability to look after their child, a judge may order supervised visitation. This generally means that the person can only spend time with their kids in a controlled setting under the watchful eye of a social worker or another family member. These visits may take place either in a public setting or at the home of another family member. Supervised visitation may be beneficial for both the parent and child. For the child, it provides
