Reducing conflict during school breaks
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Thursday, April 27, 2017. Illinois parents who have gone through a divorce may find that school vacations may lead to tense custody situations. However, there are ways in which both custodial and noncustodial parents can make school breaks as smooth as possible for themselves and their children. First, creating a plan well before the break takes place and putting it in writing may reduce the odds of a conflict. Talking with the child’s other parent is especially important if a trip with a son or daughter deviates with
The steps to winning a custody dispute
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Thursday, April 20, 2017. Illinois parents who are seeking sole physical custody of their children need to be as prepared as possible when facing a judge. This is because that judge may rule in a manner that may be surprising to a parent who may believe that the facts give credence to a claim of sole custody. Parents should also consider whether or not to create a parenting agreement with their former spouse as opposed to going to court. This may be better for the children while also
Stopping child support when a child becomes emancipated
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Monday, April 17, 2017. Illinois parents who are ordered to pay child support will be required to continue making payments until the child either reaches the age of majority or becomes emancipated. There are several reasons why children may become emancipated. For example, they may join the military, become financially independent from their custodial parent or they may get married before turning 18. In the event that a child becomes emancipated before reaching the age of majority, the child support payments are not automatically terminated. The parent will
More child support requested from Jose Reyes
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Thursday, April 13, 2017. Illinois baseball fans might have heard that Mets player Jose Reyes is in a dispute about child support with a woman with whom he had an affair. The two have a 7-year-old daughter together. Reyes currently pays $11,500 monthly in child support from his salary of $22 million per year. The woman asked for the amount to be quadrupled. Her attorney said that her only income came from a rental property Reyes had bought for her. According to some sources, Reyes had been paying
How courts deal with disputes over religion involving kids
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Saturday, April 8, 2017. Easter weekend is very important for some families, but its significance should not be diminished if one parent does not want to attend church or other religious services. Religion (or participation in religious ceremonies) can be a very difficult subject between divorcing and separated couples. Parents may feel very strongly about including (or not including) their children in religious events and may be quick to seek court intervention to get their way. This post will examine the difficulties courts may have in adjudicating these
Uses, misuses of child support payments
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Thursday, April 6, 2017. When Illinois parents divorce, the non-custodial parent usually must pay child support to the custodial parent. This money must be used for maintenance of the child or children. It should not be used for personal expenses of the custodial parent. For example, child support can be used to pay rent, the mortgage or utilities, since the child clearly benefits from having a safe place to live. The money also could be used to pay a child’s school expenses, including supplies and school clothes, as
