Resolving property division for unmarried couples

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Unmarried Couples on Wednesday, January 15, 2014. In the past, many couples sought to legalize their union through marriage. But times have changed and more and more couples now live together without getting married. While peaceful and lifelong cohabitation of unmarried couples is always possible, National Center for Health Statistics data reveals that more than one-fourth of couples living together who have not wed will break up within their first three years of cohabitation.

Military vets often face financial struggles

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Military Divorce on Tuesday, January 7, 2014. It goes without saying that members of the military are often faced with stressful circumstances.  This is especially true of those service members on active duty and stationed overseas.  The possibility of a divorce generally will not help out their situation.

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Legal Separation on Friday, December 27, 2013.

If my parents divorced, am I likely to divorce as well?

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Sunday, December 22, 2013. The title of this post is perhaps one of the most common questions in any relationship across the nation because it taps into our primal nature to make order out of chaos. Now, that’s not to say that your own relationship cannot be affected by other relationships in your life, but rather it’s important to remember that sometimes things happen in our lives that are completely random and may not have anything to do with what we think they might. Divorce is a great

Women deployed much more likely to divorce than male counterpart

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Military Divorce on Friday, December 20, 2013. Missouri readers may be interested to know that the divorce rate for women in the U.S. military is more than twice that of men.  Though the divorce rate for female military members has decreased these past two years, it reached an all-time high in 2011 of eight percent.  The divorce rate for men in the military has remained at 2.9 percent for a number of years. One researcher theorized that women are at higher risk of facing divorce when deployed than are men.  There
