Prenuptial agreement validity stands up in court
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Thursday, November 1, 2012. A prenuptial agreement is one way to handle property division. Granted, many might not find it the most romantic to negotiate a prenuptial agreement before a marriage, but doing this ahead of time does ensure that in the case of a divorce — especially a high-asset divorce — property would be properly divided. Deion Sanders, who was a former cornerback for the Cowboys and other NFL teams, did the right thing by negotiating a prenuptial agreement 14 years ago when he married model Pilar
Lack of work-life balance can lead to separation, divorce
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Friday, October 26, 2012. Many times when a couple realizes their marriage is not going the way either planned, they will decide to separate in order to figure out what it is that they both really want. Often times this separation leads to an official divorce filing. Recently, actor Russell Crowe and his wife Danielle Spencer announced their separation. This came after nine years of marriage. And while it has not been reported as to what led to their decision to separate, one has to wonder if their heavy
Differences between primary and legal custody in Illinois
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Thursday, October 25, 2012. When it comes to divorce decisions, child custody arrangements are always the most contentious. During this time it can also get particularly confusing as parents try to navigate the world of custody. Parents in Illinois may find themselves wondering, what is the difference between primary and legal custody? Who will be in charge of things like religious upbringing, medical decisions and extracurricular decisions? Of course, there is no one-size approach, but there is a general breakdown of custody terms used in Illinois: Physical custody:
Unpaid child support lands one father behind bars
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Friday, October 19, 2012. For many parents — whether they are going through a divorce or just splitting up — determining child support will be part of that process. This means each parent will need to provide proof of their earnings. A judge will then look at not just income, but also the needs of the child. Once the amount the noncustodial parent has to pay is determined, it is very important that parents stay up-to-date on their payments. If not, he or she could end up having
Should U.S. judges consider foreign laws in divorce?
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Thursday, October 18, 2012. For many people, religion plays a major role in their lives and is represented at major life occasions. Naturally, many people include their religious beliefs into their wedding. However, if the marriage ends up not working out as planned, many of those same people also want their religious beliefs to be honored in their divorce. The idea of whether U.S. judges should consider Islamic law and other foreign laws is a hot-button issue. Right now there are already six states where judges are only
Talk with an attorney before falling behind on child support
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Saturday, October 13, 2012. Illinois parents going through a divorce can expect that statutory guidelines will be used to help determine how much one parent should be paying and how much the other parent should be receiving in child support. These child support guidelines are heavily dependent on how much the non-custodial parent earns. However, other factors such as medical expenses and child care costs are also factored in to the total amount that should be paid. For the non-custodial parent, failing to make these payments can actually
