On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Legal Separation on Sunday, September 25, 2016. If you and your spouse are considering a legal separation, then you are likely feeling a mixture of strong and complicated feelings. It is understandable if you are experiencing intense anxiety.

The Progression of Family Law in Missouri

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Monday, September 19, 2016. If you’re a Missouri father who is in the process of divorcing or otherwise severing ties with your child’s other parent, you may be worried that you will not receive fair treatment in regard to child custody or child support decisions rendered by the court.

Parental psychological evaluation process may be flawed

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Domestic Violence on Thursday, September 8, 2016. If you suffer from a mental illness, your life is filled with challenges.

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Military Divorce on Saturday, September 3, 2016.

Unmarried couples need to discuss finances

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Unmarried Couples on Sunday, August 28, 2016. While married couples may enjoy a variety of financial benefits regarding tax breaks and spousal Social Security benefits, there are couples who prefer to remain unmarried while cohabiting. There are any number or reasons for foregoing the rings, the vows and the marriage license, but there is no avoiding most of the same economic realities experienced by married couples. So, if you and your significant other are among the millions of couples who live together without being married, it is just as important that

Life experience may lead a couple to seek a postnuptial agreement

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
