USFSPA and your military divorce

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Military Divorce on Sunday, December 27, 2015. USFSPA refers to the Uniformed Services Former Spouses’ Protection Act, which was an Act established to ensure that the former spouses of individuals who serve in the military would receive a share of the retirement benefits that said former spouse earned from service. Essentially, under Missouri law, the retirement pay of those who serve or have served in the military is considered marital property, and just like other marital property, it is subject to being divided during a divorce. This is just one area

Begin defending yourself against domestic abuse right now

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Domestic Violence on Saturday, December 19, 2015. When it comes to domestic violence, we understand the urgency of the situation and that timing is everything. Victims of domestic abuse endure some of the most traumatic and unimaginable circumstances on a daily basis, and securing legal protection as soon as possible is critical to their mental and physical health. More importantly, if a domestic abuser discovers that his or her victim has pursued legal action, the consequences could be fatal, making it even more important that victims get the help they need

Legal separation can help couples contemplating divorce

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Legal Separation on Sunday, December 13, 2015. Nobody would ever claim that marriage is easy. Relationships take work, and staying together through things like unexpected unemployment, moving to different states, raising children and any of the other issues that may arise during a marriage can easily put a strain on a couple’s relationship. The simple truth is that circumstances change, life changes and a relationship may change as well. What was once a happy, loving relationship may instead become a hostile or apathetic union of two individuals who simply happen to

Service of process for divorcing military couples

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Military Divorce on Thursday, December 3, 2015. There are many reasons that military divorce is more complicated than divorce for couples with no military ties, but one of the largest reasons is how the location of the service of process can be altered for military couples.

Asset division can be just as hard for unmarried couples

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Unmarried Couples on Wednesday, November 25, 2015. Division of assets is always a significant factor in any kind of separation, and we have likely all known a couple that fought bitterly over assets during a divorce. Couples will engage in heated legal proceedings over who keeps the house, which gets the car and how much money each party walks away with. It is important to remember that these are not issues only for divorcing couples, but they can also be prevalent for couples that were never married. In this day and

What is considered marital property in Missouri?

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Wednesday, November 18, 2015. When two people get married, they expect that they will spend the rest of their lives together, and they often begin to build that life by accruing assets. A new bed in which to sleep together, a new house to raise their family, a new car to take the children to soccer practice, these are all things that married couples might buy to accommodate their new life. But not all marriages last, and in the event of a divorce, the question of who gets
