Appeals court: Judge could have acted differently in custody case
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Tuesday, April 23, 2013. Many fathers in Illinois might be inclined to think that judges who rule in their family law cases might have a predisposition to rule in favor of mothers when it comes to child custody. A recent case from another state highlights how a judge’s personal opinions might intrude into the adjudication of a case — even if, ultimately, it does not affect the outcome. In the case in question, two divorcing parents were both seeking primary custody of their three children. The wife told
Proposed changes to Illinois child custody laws
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Monday, April 15, 2013. In general, laws need to be updated to reflect societal changes. This is especially true when it comes to family law where there have been many changes over the years, including mothers not automatically being favored when it comes to child custody agreements. However, for change to be effective, lawmakers need to take the time to gather information and propose changes that not only make sense, but are also in the best interests of everyone involved — parents and children.

Divorce can become even more complicated with bigamy
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Friday, April 12, 2013. Legally, a man cannot be married to more than one woman at a time. In cases where it is discovered that a husband has two or more wives, the courts will become involved. When children are involved with any of these wives, the entire situation can become even more complicated. Take for example the recent story of the 38-year-old flight instructor who was caught having two wives. The wives reportedly did not know about each other and there was a child from the first marriage.
Create a prenuptial agreement that is enforceable in Illinois
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Monday, April 8, 2013. More and more couples are getting prenuptial agreements before walking down the aisle. The point behind these agreements — commonly referred to in Illinois as prenups or premarital agreements — is to address just how property would be divided in the event of a divorce. These are not to jinx a marriage, but are rather to protect the interests of both parties involved. Because these prenuptial agreements can end up being so important to the future of both spouses, there are certain things couples
Lottery winner pays back $29,000 in child support
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Saturday, April 6, 2013. Winning the lottery and walking away a multimillionaire would be anyone’s dream come true. For those working long and grueling hours just to get by, suddenly having millions of dollars would understandably be utterly life-changing. For those owing money, it would give them the chance to pay those debts back. Recently this happened to a business owner with five children between the ages of 5 and 23. After winning the $338 million Powerball jackpot, the father appeared in court to settle the $29,000 he
Tax season and divorce: Tips for Illinois residents
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Wednesday, March 27, 2013. With tax season in full swing, those Illinois residents who are either newly divorced or are going through a divorce right now may be wondering just how to file. Should they file separately or jointly? What about if their divorce went through on Jan. 2, 2013? The first question that needs to be answered is whether a person is still married or single.
