Prominent couple in divorce battle over art collection
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Monday, February 24, 2020. High-asset couples in Missouri who are going through a divorce may have to resolve complex issues regarding property division. This is the case for a prominent art collecting couple in New York. After a court appearance on Feb. 13, the judge told them they were too far apart on the issues they needed to resolve and scheduled a new hearing for April 2. According to some sources, the woman wants custody of the couple’s two children, but the man will not discuss custody until
Divorce can have many financial consequences
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Friday, February 14, 2020. Missouri residents who have gone through a divorce may have lower credit scores and higher levels of debt. According to research from Debt.com and MoneyWise.com, divorce can cost a person $5,000 or more. The price tag includes attorney fees, court expenses and costs related to splitting property after the marriage officially ends. Someone who chooses to end their marriage may also be responsible for a portion of any joint debts accrued while with their ex-spouse. Credit scores can drop by 50 points or more
Addressing unique challenges presented by military divorce
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Military Divorce on Wednesday, January 29, 2020. Military personnel going through a divorce in Missouri or another state know that there is no legal difference between the divorce process they go through and the one that civilians use. Still, there are additional factors that can impact divorce for military personnel or their spouse. For example, the filing process may take longer if one of the divorcing parties is on active duty overseas or in a remote part of the world. Some states allow exceptions to their residency requirements for active-duty service
Why postnuptial agreements can be worth creating
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Tuesday, January 14, 2020. Postnuptial agreements are similar to prenuptial agreements in that they can specify how assets are to be divided in a divorce. They can also provide clarity as to what a couple will do with their money both now and after they retire. However, as the name implies, a postnuptial agreement is one that is created after a couple gets married. In some cases, this is because there wasn’t enough time to finalize a formal arrangement before a wedding took place. Couples may also opt
Tips to help co-parents solve their worst conflicts
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Friday, January 3, 2020. Conflicts between co-parents in Missouri are bound to arise at one point or another.

Why engaged couples would benefit from prenups
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Thursday, December 19, 2019. There is a pragmatic side of engagement that couples in Missouri need to be aware of if they want to save a lot of frustration and trouble later on. If couples do not discuss how they will handle financial matters, they fail to create an expectation as to what each individual should expect out of their financial partnership. A prenuptial agreement is a legal contract that allows an engaged couple to come up with an arrangement that will be fair for both of them
