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. 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. 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
Father awarded custody after mother became violent
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Domestic Violence on Friday, September 21, 2012. Family law situations can quickly take a turn for the worst. 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. Recently this was the case for one father who was beat up by his ex. For the time being, he now has full custody of his son and the mother has been charged with interfering with custody, assault with a deadly weapon, battery, kidnapping and
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
