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.

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.

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.
