Supervised visitation sometimes an option for Illinois parents
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Domestic Violence on Thursday, October 4, 2012. Every parent has the right to a relationship with their child. Even in cases where the parents are going through a nasty divorce full of domestic abuse allegations, children should still be able to spend time with both of their parents. In situations where accusations involving abuse play a role, a judge may only allow supervised visitation with the children. This is done in order to ensure the child’s safety, while also still allowing the child and parent to spend time together under the
How child support could affect obtaining a car loan
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Wednesday, September 26, 2012. There are plenty of divorced parents in Illinois who are making or receiving child support payments. And while most understand these payments are intended to go toward cost of living expenses — like food, shelter and clothing — many are shocked to learn that either paying or receiving child support can have an effect on how lenders view their financial risk situation. An example is buying a car, as either making or receiving payments can end up playing a role in a lender’s decisions
Property division not always easy in divorce
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Friday, September 21, 2012. Dividing up property in a divorce can be quite difficult, especially since some things that may seem straight-forward are in fact complicated. Of course a family law attorney can help sort out the exact details of property division, but here are some tips to keep in mind when thinking about the division of marital property: The first thing to keep in mind is everything is not worth the same. For example, let’s say there is the decision between the $400,000 home — which is
Many dads awarded primary child custody
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Wednesday, September 19, 2012. It used to be that a mother was automatically granted custody of the children. However, in recent years there has been a shift as both parents are being given more of a fair shot when it comes to obtaining primary custody of their children. This in turn has resulted in many more fathers being awarded sole physical custody. Take for example the fact that a judge recently awarded R&B singer Usher primary physical custody of his 4-year-old and 3-year-old. For his ex-wife, the decision
Illinois and child support guidelines
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Friday, September 7, 2012. Child support continues to be a confusing topic for many Illinois parents. How much will a father need to pay? How is the amount determined? Can payments be adjusted later on down the road if there are financial changes? These are just some of the questions that often arise. Part of the reason for the constant confusion is due to the fact that across the country there is no uniform rule on how payments are determined. Rather, each state has its own rules to
Postnuptial agreements can take the hassle out of divorce
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Tuesday, September 4, 2012. Divorce can get messy. There’s dividing up property, figuring out child custody and visitation schedules and coming to some sort of agreement on just how any marital debt should be taken care of. Without having an agreement beforehand on what to do in the case of a divorce, these issues can end up being drawn out in court with each spouse racking up litigation costs. This is why more couples who did not create prenuptial agreements before walking down the aisle are now starting
