On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Unmarried Couples on Friday, March 1, 2013. When it comes to parental rights, unmarried parents in Missouri should be treated the same way as married parents.

Under this proposed bill, if a child custody issue arose, and a paternity judgment has already established who the biological father of the child is, these cases could be handled just as promptly as those involving parents who were once married.

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Thursday, February 7, 2013. It has been reported for many years that the month of January sees more divorce filings than any other month. Exactly why that is remains a relative mystery however; the fact is that it is also a period when many people begin contemplating their annual tax returns. The timing of a divorce can always affect a person’s tax return but with the passage of the federal American Taxpayer Relief Act, things may have just gotten even more complicated for those seeking a high-asset divorce.
