Unwed couples can protect themselves with cohabitation agreements

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Monday, November 24, 2014. Although precise data is hard to come by, it is nonetheless clear that marriage rates are on the decline in the United States. This is, in part, due to the high rate of divorce that many Americans in their 20s and 30s witnessed when they were growing up. Instead of getting married, many couples are opting for cohabitation instead. They live together, they may comingle finances and other assets and might even choose to have kids together. While there is certainly nothing wrong with cohabitation before or instead of

Fathers’ rights topic: Presumption of shared child custody

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Fathers’ Rights on Friday, November 21, 2014. For decades, family courts in Missouri and around the country started child custody proceedings with the assumption that mothers were the best caretakers for their children. The fathers’ rights movement was created largely to combat this bias. Men who want to remain active in the lives of their children after divorce are not asking for special treatment, just equal treatment. To combat mother bias (or any bias for that matter), a number of states are passing or considering legislation that would change the way courts approach child custody decisions. Rather

Is there a connection between spousal age gap & risk of divorce?

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Wednesday, November 19, 2014. Americans have a somewhat complicated relationship with statistics. They are often cited as the way to definitively end an argument by bolstering someone’s assertions. Often, however, they become the argument, as people disagree on how statistics were collected and how they should properly be interpreted. One of the biggest statistical “sins” that one can commit is to confuse correlation with causation. In other words, statistics can show that two or more things are related to one another, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that one causes the other. This is

How men can avoid some of the most common divorce mistakes: Part I

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Fathers’ Rights on Tuesday, November 11, 2014. Men and women tend to handle difficult situations in different ways, and that includes divorce. This means that each gender (generally speaking) has its own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to the messy and often-uncertain process of marital dissolution. The lifestyle site AskMen.com recently posted a list of mistakes that men commonly make when going through divorce. In this week’s posts, we’ll discuss some of these common mistakes and how to avoid them. A man’s ability to treat divorce as a business negotiation is often seen as an

Should you stay together for the kids? Not necessarily: Part II

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Wednesday, November 5, 2014. Earlier this week, we began a discussion about “staying together for the sake of the kids.” Divorce is not an easy decision to make, particularly when you worry about how it will affect the children. This is an especially difficult decision in light of decades of studies showing the social, emotional, psychological and academic consequences that children can experience as a result of parental divorce. That being said, it should be noted that these negative outcomes are not inevitable. And if the divorce is handled in a healthy, child-centered
