Dividing marital property
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Monday, December 19, 2016. If you are preparing to divorce in Illinois or Missouri, you will likely need to contend with how to divide your assets. Courts divide marital assets equitably, which means in a manner that judges consider to be fair. This may mean that the assets in your marriage will not be divided equally between you and your spouse. If you have been married for a long time, you may have built up substantial assets. Complex property division involving substantial holdings may require you to understand
Compelling parents to pay past due child support
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Saturday, December 17, 2016. If an individual in Illinois or any other state is behind on their child support, they may face penalties under the Child Support Enforcement Act of 1984. The legislation gives districts attorneys and state attorneys generals power to pursue payment on behalf of those who are owed back support. If payments are not made, noncustodial parents could be subject to jail time. However, jail time is usually a penalty of last resort as parents who are in jail may struggle to earn money needed
More children are born to unmarried parents
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Thursday, December 15, 2016. A large number of children in Illinois live in homes headed by single parents. The trend for children to be born to unmarried parents has increased over time, and today, around 40 percent of all babies that are born are born to unmarried people. In 2000, around one-third of all children who were born had parents who were unmarried. The trend for more children to be born out of wedlock has several implications. Children of single parents are three times more likely to be
Navigating the holidays with your children and co-parent
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Sunday, December 11, 2016. If you’re currently separated, going through a divorce, or have been divorced, you know that the holiday season can be especially stressful on you and your children. There can be a lot of variables that can affect your plans. These might include: The geographical distance between you and your ex-spouse–do you live close by or far away? Holiday plans for both households and scheduling time (e.g., who has family coming into town when?) How custody is being handled? Is it with our without court
Is it too late to discuss a prenuptial agreement?
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Friday, December 9, 2016. If you are planning a wedding, you are likely overwhelmed with the amount of preparation that is required to pull off your “big day.” You are also likely overwhelmed by how much preparation is required in order to firm up the foundation of your actual marriage. Like a successful wedding, a successful marriage takes work. Unfortunately, many couples wait until after their wedding has occurred to begin thinking about the health and stability of their marital foundation. Thankfully, if you are still in the
Parental alienation after a divorce
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Wednesday, December 7, 2016. When Illinois parents of young children are facing the end of their marriage, one of the more contentious issues is often custody and visitation. Even before the judge has issued an order, there are times where children develop an animosity to one of their parents. This can be for a variety of reasons, but it sometimes is the result of actions or words on the part of the other parent. This is often referred to as “parental alienation”, and many psychologists consider it a
