Divorced fathers and co-parenting
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Wednesday, November 1, 2017. When couples with children get divorced, it can sometimes be difficult for fathers to remain as actively involved with their children as they were before the divorce. However, there are certain steps fathers can take to make sure that they are involved in their children’s lives. Preparation is key when having to submit proposals to the court regarding custody and visitation. It is important to take into account the needs of the children and the work times for both parents. One should keep in
Handling custody matters when parents aren’t getting divorced
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Monday, October 30, 2017. Illinois parents may not need to be divorced in order to experience issues with child custody or visitation. In some cases, grandparents or other family members may try to get custody or visitation rights enforced. When parents are unmarried, the mother is generally awarded sole physical custody of the children. This may change only if the father takes action. Like in most child custody or visitation cases, those involving unmarried parents may be resolved either through a private settlement or court action. If a
Child custody challenges resulting from a parent’s disability
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Friday, October 27, 2017. Some Illinois parents may fear that they may lose custody of their children due to a disability. These fears are not unfounded as courts have continued to interfere with the rights of disabled parents to raise their children. One woman faced an unexpected court battle in 2009 after her former boyfriend filed for custody of the former couple’s 10-week-old son. The former boyfriend claimed that the woman, a veteran who was a quadriplegic, was not fit to care for the infant. The boy’s mother
Protecting children’s college savings in divorces
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Saturday, October 21, 2017. When Illinois residents are going through divorces, they might wonder what they should do about the college savings that they have accumulated for their children. College savings should be clearly addressed in their property settlement agreements to prevent their ex-spouses from spending the money on themselves or on others in the future. People who are getting divorced might worry that their ex-spouses may spend money in their children’s college savings accounts on children of new spouses or on themselves. In order to prevent these
Blended Retirement System may complicate military divorce
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Military Divorce on Friday, October 13, 2017. Military personnel in Illinois are likely aware of the Blended Retirement System set to go into effect in January 2018. The system will impact not only military retirement, but many other aspects of military life as well. According to a military family law attorney, the BRS may cause frustration and more work in military divorce cases. The BRS significantly impacts the way former military spouses will be treated financially. The attorney said the old standard was 50 percent of High-3 base pay, but that
Wage garnishment usually occurs because of child support
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Friday, October 6, 2017. Illinois residents might be surprised to learn that one in 14 workers in America are subject to wage garnishment. This data was gathered by the ADP Research Institute as part of a study released on Sept. 27. The study used the anonymous pay data of 12 million U.S. workers from 2016. Four types of wage garnishment were looked at. These types are child support, bankruptcy, tax levies and other general garnishments that can occur. Child support was the most common type of wage garnishment.
