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

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Monday, December 18, 2017. Being married to a narcissist could be challenging. However, being divorced from one might be even worse, especially if children are involved. A narcissist is self-centered and may do anything for attention. If a narcissistic parent’s children start to show more love for their other parent, they might try gaslighting to manipulate the children and others. There are some things an Illinois parent could do to lessen the effects of gaslighting on their children. Family courts today tend to lean toward shared parenting after
The marital home after divorce
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Monday, December 11, 2017. Getting divorced in Illinois involves many decisions regarding finances. In addition to dividing assets and assuming responsibility for debts, homeowners have additional considerations. In many marriages, a house represents one of the largest assets the couple owns. Taking time to understand the options available can protect a divorcing spouse’s long-term financial health. In many cases, a divorcing couple will opt to sell the marital home as part of the divorce agreement. The proceeds from the sale of the home could then be equitably divided.
Uncovering gig work as a source of child support
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Thursday, December 7, 2017. The advent of the gig economy has provided new opportunities for many people in Illinois. As more and more people are turning to gig work, new problems have arisen for the collection of child support.
