Although unique, billionaire’s divorce broadly instructive
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Thursday, June 5, 2014. We’ll concede at the outset of today’s blog post that most people — OK, virtually all people — will likely have a problem identifying with the story of Dmitry Rybolovlev’s divorce. The reason: A court in Switzerland recently ordered the Russian businessman to hand over more than $4.5 billion — yes, you read that correctly — in cash to his former wife Elena as partial settlement of their unquestionably high-asset divorce. And that is not all. The divorce settlement also mandated the turning over
It’s official: Illinois now recognizes same-sex marriages
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Tuesday, June 3, 2014. As we noted in a recent blog post, Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn inked a legislative bill late last year allowing same-sex couples to marry and have the same marital rights as their heterosexual counterparts (please see our post entry dated May 27, 2014). That day of long-awaited equality for many Illinois state residents arrived this past Sunday, with gay marriage becoming legal across the state on that day. As we pointed out in our above-cited post, the law’s enforcement now means that same-sex couples
Collaborative divorce: not for all, but a good mechanism for some
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Thursday, May 29, 2014. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques might not work as well as traditional litigation in every case, but it’s nice to know they’re available as options. For persons unfamiliar with the language, ADR essentially encompasses legal processes that stand in contrast to traditionally litigated matters. In family law, what readily comes to the forefront are divorce mediation and collaborative divorce. The emphasis on these resolution processes is more on civility than on adversarialism as soon-to-be exes try to reach agreement on important divorce matters. Parties rather
Gay marriage: hot-button topic in states across the country
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Tuesday, May 27, 2014. As noted in a recent media article discussing same-sex marriage, only one state in the country — North Dakota — has a prohibition on gay marriage that is not currently being legally challenged. Illinois joined a growing number of states that recognize same-sex marriage relatively recently, with Gov. Pat Quinn signing off on legislation late last year. The Illinois bill providing for protection of same-sex couples is slated to take effect the first day of next month. Neighboring Missouri is a different case, with
High-powered comedian serves up measured, careful divorce views
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Friday, May 23, 2014. Many of our readers might be familiar with comedian Louis C.K. One recent media article described him as being “possibly the funniest human on the planet.” And thus it is understandable that when C.K. opines on family law matters, most people tuned in to his musings are waiting for the punch line. There is none. In what many readers might likely view as refreshing candor and deep thoughtfulness, C.K. recently discussed his views on post-divorce life and child custody with an interviewer from NPR.
Family-owned business of central importance in some divorces
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Wednesday, May 14, 2014. Divorce considerations during a marital dissolution can range from the relatively few and simple to the many and complex, with each case being quite distinct. As we — and many other family law commentators — have often noted, every divorce is unique and needs to be approached with due appreciation of that fact by a seasoned and client-empathetic divorce attorney. One element that can instantly render a divorce complex is the existence of a family-owned business. In many instances, such an enterprise becomes the
