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.

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Domestic Violence on Thursday, June 23, 2016.

Settling custody issues can be easier with help

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Friday, June 17, 2016. Divorce is rarely easy and is often contentious. It is so easy for spouses to become extremely agitated when working out the details of a divorce. While it’s one thing to debate over property or assets, it is quite another to be in conflict in matters regarding children. Regardless of how poorly you may believe your soon-to-be ex-spouse behaved during the marriage, it is important to remember that he or she is your child’s other parent. So when working on your parenting agreement, there
