Missouri child support statute amended

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Friday, November 25, 2011. Child support is determined in Missouri by the Form 14. The Form 14 is primarily based on the gross income of the parties, along with various other factors including the visitation credit on line 11. Prior to the recent amendment in the law, if you were a father paying child support, but who shared close to equal custody with the mother, you could get up to a thirty-four percent visitation credit on line 11.  However, a judge only had to give a ten-percent visitation credit in most circumstances. This line

Paternity tests on the rise

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Paternity on Thursday, November 24, 2011. Since teen pop star Justin Bieber was alleged to be the father of a young woman’s baby, paternity has been a hot topic. However, paternity disputes are not just for celebrities. There were approximately 500,000 paternity tests performed in the U.S. last year. This week, the largest DNA testing company in the U.S. reported that they have experienced an increase in paternity inquiries recently. There are a number of situations in which someone would need to confirm paternity. Whether a mother is attempting to secure child support or an alleged father

Dealing with divorce, the holidays and stress

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Monday, November 21, 2011. For divorced parents the holidays can be particularly frustrating. And while it may be tempting to hold on to hurt feelings and animosity, these reactions between parents often make kids feel like they have to pick sides between their parents. However, according to family therapist Marie Hartwell-Walker, the holidays do not need to be a negative experience, and in fact can be quite positive and show children that there is no need to choose a side after a divorce, and that both parents still equally love them. The No. 1

Divorce does not have to be devastating for Missouri children

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Friday, November 18, 2011. Contrary to popular belief, Missouri children with divorced parents do not necessarily have lingering psychological damage. However, how parents address and deal with the divorce, can really affect their children’s overall feelings of stress and bad memories related to the split. Overall, studies have found that the way parents talk to their children about their divorce significantly impacts how their children respond in later years. For example, children who have the opportunity to talk to their parents about the divorce and ask questions are less likely to experience anxiety and

New twist to social media in divorce proceedings

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Tuesday, November 15, 2011. In the past we’ve discussed the role of Facebook in divorce. In fact, even the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers reported seeing an increase in the use of evidence gathered from social media sites being used in divorce proceedings. However, a recent judge’s ruling has the potential to play a rather large role in future rulings in Missouri and throughout the country when it comes to social media sites and divorce. In this recent case, the judge ordered that both spouses exchange passwords to the social networking sites they each

Missouri parents bringing up obesity in child custody cases

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Friday, November 11, 2011. Over the past several years childhood obesity has been on the rise. And as the concerns surrounding issues like poor self-image and health issues are often topics talked about, it turns out that an increasing number of parents are also using obesity against each other in child custody battles. According to legal experts, these accusations often range from what their former spouse is allowing the child to eat, to the former spouse themselves being obese and unable to take care of the child due to their weight. And aside from
