On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Sunday, August 21, 2016. Much is made about the advantages enjoyed by couples who opt to sign prenuptial agreements before saying “I do.” Creating a prenuptial agreement is a great way to clarify the rights and responsibilities held by each party during the marriage as well as how things should be handled in the event of a divorce. But there are many reasons a couple may forgo drafting a prenup. Perhaps their lives are relatively simple and they don’t have much in the way of assets. Or maybe

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Legal Separation on Sunday, August 14, 2016. If you and your spouse have arrived at a point in your marriage where you are questioning your future together, you may decide that a legal separation is the best way to help you get perspective.

When leaving a relationship, you should get to keep what’s yours

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Unmarried Couples on Sunday, July 17, 2016. Perhaps when you first moved in with your partner, it was intended as a trial run to see if you were compatible. Or maybe you never had designs on marriage but wanted to share your lives together. But whatever the circumstance, you and your partner cohabited for years without ever creating a formal legal agreement that would establish your rights if the relationship were to end.
