On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Military Divorce on Wednesday, January 22, 2014. Life in the military has its ups and downs, and as a couple there are more demands than that of a typical marriage.

With military divorce on the rise, counselors are doing what they can to help rebuild the broken bond. These feelings of frustration and

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.

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.

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.
