Man caught committing bigamy with Missouri woman
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Wednesday, March 2, 2016. When you want to marry someone, make sure you are not currently married to someone else. Bigamy is against the law in Missouri, so you could find yourself facing criminal charges for trying it. It is also cause to void the second marriage, which could leave your second spouse with no right to pursue property division, spousal support or child support. A Missouri man has been charged with misdemeanor bigamy after his wife of 29 years, who lives in Oregon, found out her husband
5 things you need to take care of after divorce
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Friday, February 26, 2016. Getting the final divorce decree might be a relief, a sad moment or somewhere in between. No matter what your emotional reaction will be, keep in mind that it is not the final step in severing ties to your former wife or husband. Depending on how much you and your ex planned for your future together before filing for divorce, you could have up to five things you need to take steps to change — as soon as possible after your divorce is official.
When adoptive parents ‘re-home’ their kids, child safety is at risk
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Wednesday, February 17, 2016. Most of the time, an adopted child becomes a part of his or her new family permanently — but not always. Occasionally, parents change their minds and seek to hand off the child to someone else, a move known as “re-homing.” This may seem like shocking, heartless behavior to some. How could anyone go through the process of adopting a child, only to decide they don’t want the kid anymore, as if the girl or boy was a used car? And many parents who
New Illinois law shortens pre-divorce separation rule
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Thursday, February 11, 2016. We have spoken a couple of times already in this blog about changes to Illinois’ family law statutes, but so much has changed that a third post is necessary. Today, we will discuss how spouses no longer need to cite grounds for divorce to end their marriage sooner. Prior to this year, no-fault divorce was available in Illinois, but the law required spouses to live separately for at least two years first. Waiting so long can cause a significant financial burden, and is highly
Madison County’s ‘Accountability Court’ to get child support paid
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Tuesday, February 9, 2016. Much of what Illinois courts do to get noncustodial parents to pay child support focuses on punishing the parent for falling behind: garnishing wages and even jail time are options. This works to some extent, but many observers note that locking up a parent is not going to help him or her raise the money to get up to date on child support. Now, authorities in Madison County are trying a different approach starting Feb. 9. They have created a program designed to help
7 conversations to have with your partner to reduce divorce risk
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Wednesday, February 3, 2016. Want to know if you have truly found “The One”? Before you walk down the aisle, would you like a guarantee that you and your spouse-to-be will never get divorced? Of course you would, but there is no crystal ball that can predict how long a marriage will last.
