Who gets the pet in a divorce?
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Thursday, January 4, 2018. Illinois couples who own a pet and are facing divorce might find themselves seeking custody of the pet. In the past, disputes over pets were becoming more common in divorces that ended up in court; however, more recently, pet owners are negotiating who gets custody of the pet outside of court. Traditionally, pets were treated as property to be divided during negotiations. However, Illinois has a law that allows judges to decide who gets custody of a pet during a divorce. To make this
Domestic violence calls decrease over the holidays
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Domestic Violence on Friday, December 29, 2017. Illinois residents may be interested to learn that statistics suggest that those experiencing domestic violence are less likely to make reports. Law enforcement officials and local experts suggest that this may be due to potentially maintaining the appearance of family happiness. It should be noted, however, that this does not necessarily equal a decrease in the rate of domestic violence. In 2016, the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence reported that the hotline received an average of 829 calls every day. However, the number
How to sell the family home in a divorce
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Thursday, December 28, 2017. For many Illinois couples who are going through a divorce, the possibility of selling the family home is very real. In fact, smartagents.com, a real state website, estimates that 61 percent of divorces result in the sale of the family home. This can be an emotionally fraught period, and if both spouses are not in agreement about how to handle this, the sale of the home can be undermined. The goal of getting the highest profit for the home, however, should help both spouses
Undocumented parents could lose custody of their children
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Saturday, December 23, 2017. In Illinois and throughout the U.S., undocumented families are always at risk of being separated. With the Trump administration ramping up immigration enforcement actions, the millions of children in the U.S. with undocumented parents are at an increased risk. Children who are separated from undocumented parents may end up in foster care while their parents try to regain custody after being forced to leave the country. One such case occurred in 2005 after a Guatemalan woman was found to be living illegally in Nebraska.
‘Fuller House’ star must pay child support to ex-husband
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Friday, December 22, 2017. Jodie Sweetin, one of the actors in “Fuller House,” does not appear to have the fun family life that television viewers in Illinois have seen depicted on her television show. A judge has ruled that she must pay $2,800 every month to her ex-husband to support their child. Their daughter is currently 7 years old, and the court order requires payments to continue until the girl reaches age 18, becomes emancipated, marries or dies. The payment schedule calls for her ex-husband to receive $1,400
Reaching resolutions in child custody disputes
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Tuesday, December 19, 2017. It is common for custody disputes to arise when parents are divorcing in Illinois. In some cases, the parents may have trouble reaching agreements about how they will handle decision making and parenting time. There are several ways that parents may reach agreements so that they can resolve these types of issues so that everyone’s interests are protected.
