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

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.

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Legal Separation on Wednesday, August 8, 2012. Many couples in Missouri who are splitting up face the decision of whether to go with a legal separation or a divorce.

This is why it is important to learn about both before coming to any kind of agreement. With separation, couples can enter into agreements. These agreements often address similar issues to the ones in a divorce. However, those entering into

Fathers can face unique issues in divorce

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Thursday, August 2, 2012. Back in the 1970s and 1980s, many started to push back against what they considered to be the norm of women being favored by the courts when it came to divorce decisions, like child custody and alimony. At the time many claimed men were routinely being overlooked when it came to family law decisions. Since then, while many claim prejudices still exist, much has changed.

Some find boosts to career after divorce

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Tuesday, July 17, 2012. For Missouri residents, going through a divorce can be tiring and stressful. For some, depending on their work situation, the divorce can also end up hindering or advancing their careers too. One particularly tricky area can be if two spouses work together or own a business together. If the divorce is rather heated, this can lead to serious work complications. Take for example one couple who owned a business together. At one point during the divorce, one spouse ended up finding themselves locked out

Stress of deployment can lead to military divorce

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Military Family Law on Tuesday, July 10, 2012. Military deployments put a certain stress on not only those in the service, but also on their families. In fact, a recent Johns Hopkins University study found civilian spouses suffer from the same types of post-traumatic stress symptoms that their military husbands and wives go through upon returning home from combat. The fact that civilian husbands and wives also go through many of the same symptoms only adds to the risk of having troubles within the marriage that can lead to divorce. One
