Fathers are awarded child support too
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Friday, June 22, 2012. In the context of talking about child support, many people assume that the mother is the custodial parent, and the father is paying child support on a weekly or monthly basis. However, this is not always true and there are plenty of situations where a father has custody and receives child support from the mother. An example of this would be the fact that actress Halle Berry has been ordered to pay her ex $240,000 a year — or $20,000 a month — in
Do you think 35 percent of parenting time is enough in Illinois?
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Tuesday, June 19, 2012. Many dads want equal parenting time. Yet, they find themselves stuck with just seeing their kids every other weekend, sparingly for a week night dinner — and in some cases — for a few weeks in the summer. However, the issue is no longer being brushed under the rug, and instead many states — including Illinois — are considering child custody laws that reflect a situation closer to equal parenting time. When looking at the research behind the importance of a child having equal
Divorce planning apps offered for iPhones and Androids
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Friday, June 15, 2012. Let’s say you have filed for divorce in Illinois. You know you want to protect your rights as a father and you’d like to have a rough estimate of just what you’ll be paying in child support — and possibly alimony — if it’s applicable in your situation. But, aside from talking to an experienced Illinois divorce attorney, what other preparation steps can you take after filing for divorce? It turns out, that much like wedding planning, many are now putting efforts into divorce
House passes controversial military child custody bill
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Military Divorce on Friday, June 8, 2012. The House recently passed a bill that could end up affecting child custody for military families in Illinois and throughout the country. However, while the House did pass the bill on a 390-to-2 vote last week, it’s believed that the Senate will almost most certainly not approve. The bill was introduced by one representative with the purpose of making sure military members are not put at a disadvantage when it comes to child custody due to their deployments. However, contenders of this bill —
Celebrity divorces can teach Illinois residents lessons
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Wednesday, June 6, 2012. It seems that every time we turn on the TV or radio, or happen to glance at a celebrity gossip magazine while checking out at the grocery store, yet another celebrity is getting a divorce. And while it is true that many of these scandals are filled with outlandish accusations, and at times seem to drag on forever, the truth is that beneath the surface there are lessons that Illinois residents can learn. For example, take the very public and nasty divorce between Kim Basinger
Put thought into child support, divorce agreements
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Tuesday, May 29, 2012. In Missouri, how much a parent will pay in child support — typically the non-custodial parent — is determined based on guidelines that take into account parents’ gross incomes and different necessary costs for the child, like medical and daycare. However, the truth is that when coming up with child support and divorce agreements, it’s important to think well into future costs to prevent contentious arguments from coming up later on down the road. When looking at determining costs, it’s important for parents to
