Unmarried couples need to protect assets and parental rights
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Unmarried Couples on Friday, November 2, 2012. As we’ve mentioned in the past, more and more couples are choosing to live together and have children without first getting married. Of course there is absolutely nothing wrong with these decisions. However, those unmarried parents and couples should think about a few things ahead of time in order to protect future finances and parental rights. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of unmarried couples rose by 74 percent between the years of 2000 and 2009. In fact, now there are at

Missouri division dedicated to child support matters
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Thursday, October 18, 2012. In Missouri, officials work hard to track down and arrest those parents who owe money for child support.

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. According to “Household Change in the United States,” which is an analysis based on Current Population Survey data; the once predominant norm of getting married and having children is starting to decrease. In fact, back in 1960 the household rate for couples with children reached 44 percent. In 2010 this same demographic made up just 20 percent of households. Other findings
Trend: Wives paying maintenance to ex-husbands
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. What this means is that unless there is a death, remarriage or a substantial change to circumstance, one ex-spouse could find themselves making payments to their ex for years and years.
