The affects of divorce upon spouses and children

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Friday, January 3, 2014. Recent research concerning as to why couple’s divorce may not provide additional insight. However, this research does reiterate that divorce can be extremely stressful for both husbands and wives. There also are indications of a large number of cultural factors that go into why a divorce has taken place. More women are divorcing or separating from their spouses than in the past.

Why prenuptial agreements are needed for every couple

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Legal Separation on Friday, December 27, 2013. At least one columnist insists that a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement is absolutely essential for any woman who plans on marrying and becoming a stay-at-home mother. The great concern should be the compensation such an individual would receive after foregoing employment during the years where they would otherwise be receiving the highest amount of earnings.

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Sunday, December 22, 2013.

Domestic violence is widespread

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Domestic Violence on Monday, December 2, 2013. Domestic violence appears to also have affected individuals from all ages as victims in one Missouri shelter were anywhere from 14 to 70-years in age.  While women go to this shelter to escape an abusive situation, part of the funding for this shelter comes from a fashion show that is put on.  The event helped raise $43,000 for the shelter. According to one source, Missouri police officers were forced to respond to 41,494 reports of domestic violence during the past year.   A federal government
