Age, stress and intent play role in higher military divorce rate
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Military Family Law on Monday, July 8, 2013. The rate of divorce among enlisted military members is higher than the rate of divorce among civilians. This divorce rate among military members has also been steadily increasing over the years. In looking at the reasons why the military divorce rate is higher, sources point to a number of factors, including the stress of military life, the age of marriage and the real reason behind the marriage in the first place. According to a 14 News special report, wives interviewed said many marry
Domestic violence accusation leads to job resignation
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Domestic Violence on Monday, July 1, 2013. Recently, a high school hockey coach resigned after a complaint was made to the district about previously being investigated for domestic abuse. The coach ended up resigning just based on the complaint being filed with the district, as he was never convicted on any charges related to domestic violence. The fact that the coach resigned due to a previous accusation regarding domestic violence speaks to not only the importance of more people viewing domestic abuse as a community problem, but also just how much
Think ahead when creating a prenuptial agreement
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Monday, June 24, 2013. A good prenuptial agreement contains detailed information pertaining to significant assets and debts. The best agreements are also those that cover all types of possible situations, from spouses becoming involved in each other’s businesses to one spouse staying home to take care of children. The issue with prenuptial agreements is that many times an engaged girlfriend or boyfriend feels weird bringing it up. Some worry about coming off as being too self-serving. However, what is important to keep in mind is that marriage is
More dads being awarded shared custody
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Wednesday, June 19, 2013. The court system in Missouri used to favor mothers when it came to child custody decisions. However, now with changes in many American families, judges are awarding split custody with dad getting equal time to raise the kids. In looking at how divorce and subsequent settlements have changed over time, one has to first look at the typical family in the 1950s. In most families, the wife stayed home to care for the children while the husband went off to work in order to
Ochocinco jailed in domestic violence case
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Domestic Violence on Monday, June 10, 2013. Domestic violence should always be taken very seriously. Whether the accusation is true or false — these types of charges can really come back to bite someone, especially when it comes to child custody and visitation issues. Basically, if a judge believes a mother or father is dangerous, this could weigh heavy when it comes to making custodial decisions. However, these types of accusations should still be taken very seriously, especially in the courtroom, even if children are not in the picture. One could
How to survive the separation while living together
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Legal Separation on Tuesday, June 4, 2013. In Missouri there is no legal separation requirement. However, for 30 days after filing for divorce a husband and wife need to be living apart. This does not necessarily mean living in separate houses though. Rather, it can mean living in the same house, yet sleeping in separate rooms. It is this period of separation that can be quite troubling, especially for small children who want to know what is going on and if mom and dad are going to be getting a divorce.
