Ways to resolve child custody disputes
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Tuesday, October 11, 2016. When an Illinois divorce involves children, determining where they will live and how often they get to see each parent can lead to major disputes. However, there are several ways that these issues can be resolved. Litigation is one way to resolve child custody disputes. Courts makes their decision based on what they believe is in the best interests of the child. However, they generally will not make decisions on how the children will spend their day-to-day lives. If parents can work together, mediation
Shared parenting following a divorce in Illinois
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Thursday, October 6, 2016. While divorces can always be difficult, they can be especially complicated if children are involved. In the past, the children would primarily live with one parent while the other parent would have the kids for short periods of time. However, this trend is changing as more courts are becoming aware of the benefits that shared parenting provides for both the children and adults involved. Shared parenting often involves having the kids spend equal time living with both parents. This allows each individual to establish
Factors used to determine who gets a home in a divorce
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Tuesday, October 4, 2016. It isn’t uncommon for Illinois couples who are getting a divorce to wonder who will get the marital home. In many cases, the couple can decide on its own who will keep it or whether it will be sold and the proceeds divided. However, if a couple is unable to come to an agreement on its own, a judge may need to make a ruling. Even if an individual wants to keep the marital home and is granted the rights to it, it may
Parents who pay child support held to high standards
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Friday, September 30, 2016. An Illinois noncustodial parent could face harsh penalties after missing child support payments. These could include contempt of court and possible jail time in addition to wage garnishment. In general, the legal system places greater burdens on those paying child support than the people receiving the funds. A custodial parent does not have to provide any receipts or other proof that child support money was used to pay for the needs of the children. A custodial parent could spend the money in any way.
Unlearning child custody and domestic violence myths
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Wednesday, September 28, 2016. In Illinois and the rest of the U.S., child custody and domestic violence issues plague a number of families. Reports say that domestic violence could continue to affect a child long after he or she has become an adult. A contributing factor to the occurrence of both of these issues is the persistence of commonly held beliefs in domestic abuse and child custody. The belief that children are safe from an abusive parent is one myth that is particularly harmful. Studies have shown that
Finding an absent parent for child support
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Monday, September 26, 2016. Illinois parents who have full custody of their children and who want the other parent to pay for his or her obligations may decide to pursue child support. However, the first hurdle that these parents face is trying to locate the absent parent who has often tried to shirk his or her financial obligations.
