Energy tycoon’s divorce case centers on division of assets
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Monday, March 31, 2014. Sometimes celebrity-related stories regarding family law topics are more than purely entertaining. For many people, indeed, they can be highly instructive and broadly relevant, notwithstanding the sometimes singularly large dimensions of what is at stake. Take the unfolding divorce drama of multibillionaire Harold Hamm and his wife Sue Ann Hamm, for instance. Although some people might reasonably argue that the Hamms are not a celebrity couple in the most popular sense (think Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie), very few couples can match the Hamms
Illinois child custody bill would tweak existing statutory law
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Thursday, March 27, 2014. In matters relating to physical and legal custody in a divorce proceeding, judges in both Illinois and Missouri make decisions guided by the best interests of the child or children involved. That standard is a longstanding cornerstone in American family law that courts look to when asked to make important rulings regarding children. Those rulings commonly address where a child will live, how much visitation will be awarded a noncustodial parent, which parent might be better tasked to make important decisions about a child’s
Marital contracts: on the rise and covering more ground
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Monday, March 24, 2014. Noting in a recent media article that “the stigma that was once attached to these agreements is fading,” one family law attorney echoes what many of her peers across the country say regarding prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, namely this: Such contracts are on the rise, and for a number of reasons. Many divorcing couples in Illinois and Missouri are primarily motivated to execute marital contracts prior to or following marriage for the same reason that most couples nationally do so. In most instances, prenups
Newly published divorce research presents interesting findings
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Thursday, March 20, 2014. So, is the divorce rate in Illinois and nationally going up or down? Although that is certainly a straightforward and simple enough question to ask, a definitive and unequivocal answer has long seemed to be more than a bit elusive. A professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign readily weighs in on the subject. In addition to his classroom duties, that academic, Robert Hughes, Jr., also contributes media pieces on divorce-related topics. In an article he recently penned for the Huffington Post, Hughes cites
Case ruling on dads in the delivery room draws scrutiny
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Tuesday, March 18, 2014. Reportedly, although many family law cases in recent years have expanded the rights of fathers in matters regarding child custody, visitation and other considerations, no litigation ruling had ever issued until recently concerning a dad’s right to be present in the delivery room. That has now changed in a big way, with the eyes of many family law commentators and fathers’ rights advocates being intently focused on a written ruling released just last week by a New Jersey state judge. In that case, the
Finding funding for Missouri’s domestic violence shelters
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Domestic Violence on Saturday, March 15, 2014. Thankfully, there are a lot of shelters in Missouri that provide critically needed support in myriad forms to individuals — both women and men — and other family members who are victimized by domestic violence. Services range from the provision of food, shelter and crisis intervention to counseling/therapy and legal assistance. Unfortunately, and obviously, the availability of such a vital support system is sorely compromised when funding for the shelters dries up. When that occurs, family violence can run unchecked. That has been a
