Returning from deployment is hard on military families

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. Instead of buying gifts to help a child adjust to a divorce, rather parents should

‘Toddlers & Tiaras’: Dad wants sole custody after pageant costume

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Tuesday, August 28, 2012. There’s one thing about allowing a child to participate in beauty pageants. But, it’s quite another if the costumes being worn by the child are not age appropriate and could be viewed at as sexual in nature. For any parent, the thought that a custodial parent is exploiting their child is surely disturbing and could be enough of a reason to take that parent back to court for child custody. This is exactly what is going on now between the mother and father of

Job consequences stem from domestic violence accusations

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Domestic Violence on Thursday, August 23, 2012. Domestic abuse is absolutely a very real situation. The abuse can invoke continual fear and emotional trauma, which is why those who hurt others should be held accountable. However, while there are very real situations of domestic violence that happen in Missouri — and around the country — there are also incidents where a person is falsely accused of domestic violence. These false accusations can leave a lasting impact on a person’s life, especially when it’s one parent lying in an attempt to gain

Marital statuses after military deployments could be in danger

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Military Family Law on Wednesday, August 22, 2012. As many Missouri military personnel and their families know, emotions run high when deployment orders are given. Anxiety, stress, and the overwhelming sense of ‘what if?’ consumes everyone involved. For soldiers, duty to their country outweighs the duties they once had at home. Spouses, on the other hand, must endure months, sometimes even years, of constant worry and the feeling of abandonment. These realities became all too real for one couple when the soldier, a married father of two young children, came home

Report: More children born to unmarried parents

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Unmarried Couples on Tuesday, August 14, 2012. More and more unmarried couples are choosing to live together. With this trend, over the past several years, there has also been an increase in the number of children born to unmarried parents. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the overall percentage of children born to non-married couples, who were cohabitating, made up 23 percent of all live births in 2006-2010 in the U.S. In 2002, births to cohabitating women made up 14 percent of total births. Data also points to the
