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
Shared parenting following a divorce in Illinois
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Thursday, October 6, 2016. While divorces can always be difficult, they can be especially complicated if children are involved. In the past, the children would primarily live with one parent while the other parent would have the kids for short periods of time. However, this trend is changing as more courts are becoming aware of the benefits that shared parenting provides for both the children and adults involved. Shared parenting often involves having the kids spend equal time living with both parents. This allows each individual to establish
Factors used to determine who gets a home in a divorce
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Tuesday, October 4, 2016. It isn’t uncommon for Illinois couples who are getting a divorce to wonder who will get the marital home. In many cases, the couple can decide on its own who will keep it or whether it will be sold and the proceeds divided. However, if a couple is unable to come to an agreement on its own, a judge may need to make a ruling. Even if an individual wants to keep the marital home and is granted the rights to it, it may
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.
