Don’t let a child custody dispute turn into a domestic situation

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Domestic Violence on Tuesday, October 9, 2012. When it comes to child custody matters, tempers can easily flare between parents. In some cases, these tempers can even flare to the point of a domestic situation, which can only further complicate issues regarding child custody and visitation. This is why police warn for parents to get out of a situation before it gets physical. Rather, deal with any disagreements regarding a parenting plan through the court system. According to police, calls related to child custody and domestic assaults are more common on

Increase in children born to unmarried parents

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Unmarried Couples on Wednesday, October 3, 2012. The times are certainly changing as the average rate for marriage increases, the divorce rate also increases, and more unmarried couples have children.

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Friday, September 28, 2012. In Missouri, spousal support — also commonly known as alimony — is something that can be permanent.

Over the past few years, there has also been a shift in just who is paying alimony. As more and more women work, many are also climbing the corporate ladder and bringing home more money than

And while for many families this means more arguing in court and going back-and-forth between who said what, for others the tension can lead to a domestic situation.

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Military Family Law on Thursday, September 13, 2012. Military deployments are tough on a family. And while many tend to think that everything is fine once the two spouses are reunited, the truth is that often couples have a hard time readjusting to each other after a deployment. In light of the fact that military divorce rates are the highest since 1999, the U.S. Navy has started to address some of the biggest stressors on military families. One of the biggest challenges is not necessarily how to deal with being apart

Make it an easier transition for children during divorce

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Thursday, September 6, 2012. Divorce can be hard for parents and children. For the parents, this often leads to the temptation to start buying children gifts in order to cheer them up and to feel better about the divorce. And while this is a natural reaction, the truth is to a child this could look like their parent is trying to buy their feelings, which can of course do more harm than good.
