Child support costs outside of the divorce settlement
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Friday, November 11, 2016. During divorce proceedings, one parent may be ordered to pay child support. When setting a rate of child support, the financial needs of raising a child are taken into consideration. However, there are a number of every day expenses that are not covered in the court order. What is covered varies from state to state, and Illinois courts may issue orders that are different in this regard from other jurisdictions. Raising a child is not cheap, and all parents can agree that they want
Parenting dispute between Lena Headey and ex-husband
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Monday, November 7, 2016. Illinois residents who are fans of the “Game of Thrones” actress Lena Headey might be following her parenting dispute with her former husband Peter Loughran. Reportedly, Headey took their 6-year-old son to England and enrolled him in school there because she was unhappy with the school system in Los Angeles. Headey says she had Loughran’s permission. However, one source says that a judge ruled that she is in violation of their parenting responsibility agreement while another says there has not been a ruling. Loughran
Child support and incarcerated parents
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Monday, October 24, 2016. In Illinois, noncustodial parents who are incarcerated are not required to pay child support under certain circumstances. However, this is not the case for prisoners in some other states, and as a result, the Obama administration is moving to put regulations in place that will make it possible for incarcerated parents to have their child support amounts modified. Many prisoners see their child support obligations unchanged or even increased despite the fact that they have little or no income when they are in prison.
Selling the house during divorce
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Thursday, October 20, 2016. For many Illinois couples, their house or condo is their most valuable asset. It is thus not surprising that an impending divorce can create a fair amount of concern about what will happen to their home. Several considerations come into play, including whether the home will need to be sold and when the sale should take place. While the phrase “Who gets the house?” is often associated with divorce, many couples choose instead to sell the home. One reason for this is that the
Wrongful conviction settlement may be split in divorce
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Tuesday, October 18, 2016. A Illinois man may have to split his wrongful conviction settlement award with his ex-wife. The couple was married while the man was incarcerated for an event that took place before they were married. After the man was exonerated in an appeal, he filed a wrongful conviction lawsuit and was awarded $20 million. The couple was still married when the lawsuit was filed. The man was originally convicted for the rape and murder of an 11-year-old girl in 1992. When the man filed an
Ways to resolve child custody disputes
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Tuesday, October 11, 2016. When an Illinois divorce involves children, determining where they will live and how often they get to see each parent can lead to major disputes. However, there are several ways that these issues can be resolved. Litigation is one way to resolve child custody disputes. Courts makes their decision based on what they believe is in the best interests of the child. However, they generally will not make decisions on how the children will spend their day-to-day lives. If parents can work together, mediation
