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

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.

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
Clear communication could end child custody disputes
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Wednesday, November 30, 2016. Illinois parents who have gone through a divorce often experience tension and differences of opinion when sharing custody or dealing with visitation orders. Common problems include tardy drop off or pick up of children, ignoring parenting duties, withholding information about travel plans or challenging decisions about schooling, religion or health care. Resolution of these problems should follow a series of steps before escalating to court appearances. Initially, a parent can express complaints through an attempt at civil conversation. The other parent might not be
