Parents who pay child support held to high standards
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Friday, September 30, 2016. An Illinois noncustodial parent could face harsh penalties after missing child support payments. These could include contempt of court and possible jail time in addition to wage garnishment. In general, the legal system places greater burdens on those paying child support than the people receiving the funds. A custodial parent does not have to provide any receipts or other proof that child support money was used to pay for the needs of the children. A custodial parent could spend the money in any way.
Unlearning child custody and domestic violence myths
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Wednesday, September 28, 2016. In Illinois and the rest of the U.S., child custody and domestic violence issues plague a number of families. Reports say that domestic violence could continue to affect a child long after he or she has become an adult. A contributing factor to the occurrence of both of these issues is the persistence of commonly held beliefs in domestic abuse and child custody. The belief that children are safe from an abusive parent is one myth that is particularly harmful. Studies have shown that
Finding an absent parent for child support
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Monday, September 26, 2016. Illinois parents who have full custody of their children and who want the other parent to pay for his or her obligations may decide to pursue child support. However, the first hurdle that these parents face is trying to locate the absent parent who has often tried to shirk his or her financial obligations. Before child support can be ordered, the other parent must be served with legal documents that indicate that the custodial parent is seeking child support so that he or she
Buying homes as cohabiting partners
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Saturday, September 24, 2016. The trend towards cohabitation has led some Illinois couples to purchase homes together before they are married. This can cause significant problems if the relationship doesn’t last and one person wishes to stay in the home that was jointly purchased. Experts recommend that couples avoid purchasing homes together before they are married. If they decide to do so, they should take steps to protect their individual financial interests by entering into a contract that should spell out all of the terms of the purchase,
Decision is reached in Madonna child custody case
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Thursday, September 22, 2016. Illinois fans who have watched the child custody case involving Madonna and Guy Ritchie can now learn about the conclusion to this months-long case. The case involved two countries, two celebrities and the custody of a 16-year-old child. The child custody battle started in December 2015 after the couple’s teenage child refused to fly back from his father’s home in London to live with his mother in New York. Madonna and her director ex-husband Guy Ritchie were married in 2000. They divorced in 2008
How a zealous legal advocate can help you in child custody proceedings
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Tuesday, September 20, 2016. In the divorce process, having a zealous advocate can be crucial for achieving the best results. This is particularly true of financial matters such as property division, debt division, tax and retirement issues, and spousal support. In these areas, the role of an advocate is to make sure the court has the information it needs to make a decision that reflects the interests of the parent the advocate is representing. When it comes to child custody and parenting time, an advocate is still important
