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
Individual circumstances need to be weighed in custody decisions
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Thursday, August 30, 2012. When it comes to figuring out child custody arrangements, it’s important to realize that there is not a one size fits all approach. Rather, each situation is truly unique and judges and attorneys need to take into account what would be in the best interest of the child, not necessarily the best interests of the parents. This is why many push back against the idea of statutory policies mandating equal parenting time. Of course this doesn’t mean one parent should have sole custody and
Change in finances leads to child support modification request
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Tuesday, August 28, 2012. Family circumstances can change for a number of reasons. A father can end up laid off and out of work, or taking a job where he earns less. Or maybe, he knows he is going to be going through a surgery and will be out of work for several months. In all of these situations, the father may attempt to have his child support payments reduced by asking the courts for a modification to an existing order. One former agricultural commissioner recently did just
Avoid trash talking online during a divorce
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Friday, August 24, 2012. There’s no doubt that going through a divorce is an emotional and frustrating time. However, with more and more people using social platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter, many soon-to-be ex-spouses should take heed that these platforms are not the appropriate place to trash talk an ex for it could come back to hurt them in the courtroom. The first thing to remember is that while everyone does have the right to feel a certain way, straight out lying about someone could lead to a
Tips for a less contentious Illinois divorce
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Friday, August 10, 2012. When we think of divorce, many of us think of the back-and-forth arguing, the fighting in court over every piece of property, and the ongoing battles over who should have primary custody and how decisions regarding the children should be made. And while this is certainly a reality for many couples, it’s important to remember it is not the only way to handle a divorce and that it is possible to have a peaceful dissolution. When trying to set the tone for divorce, the first
