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

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Monday, November 3, 2014. Divorce has become commonplace in the United States, but that doesn’t mean it has become easy – either logistically or emotionally. In fact, many couples struggle with doubts about whether they are doing the right thing by getting divorced, especially if they have children. This has caused many couples to make a very difficult choice: Do we get divorced or do we stay together for the sake of the children? In this week’s posts, we’ll examine why staying together for the kids often ends up making everyone less happy – including

‘Gray divorce’ and the risk to your retirement savings

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Friday, October 31, 2014. As society changes, so do its family law trends. A lot of research in recent years has analyzed divorce rates among various groups of Americans. Through analysis of demographic data and other sources, an interesting trend has emerged. As of 2010, about one in four divorcees was age 50 or older. “Gray divorce” is the term coined to describe the phenomenon of couples who dissolve their marriage later in life. There are many factors contributing to the trend, including longer average life expectancy, more dual-income households and a decreasing

High-asset divorce does not have to be a highly public event

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Wednesday, October 29, 2014. High-asset divorce tends to be more complicated than divorce among couples with more modest assets. The complications are due, at least in part, to the logistics of dividing up significant wealth and property. But high-asset divorces also tend to be complicated because they are usually high-profile as well. Business professionals and other well-known individuals often want to keep their divorce and child custody negotiations discreet, and for good reasons. Any personal accusations made by a spouse in court filings could potentially leak out and cause damage to a person’s business and

Fathers’ rights topic: The double standards around child support

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Wednesday, October 22, 2014. Consider the following two scenarios about a former couple who shares child custody. In the first scenario, the child’s father earns vastly more money than the mother. As such, he pays thousands of dollars in child support each month. He then petitions the court for a reduction in child support, alleging that the child’s mother is basically refusing to find work. Now, consider the exact same scenario with the parents’ genders reversed. If the child’s mother is the “breadwinner” and the father is the parent who allegedly refuses

Court says: Facebook not appropriate for delivering paternity news

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Fathers’ Rights on Monday, October 20, 2014. In the age of social media and cellphone technology, it is more important than ever to choose an appropriate way to communicate certain information. If you are going to break up with a long-term partner, for instance, most people believe it should only be done in person – no texting, no emailing and no phone calls. Communicating too casually for the news being delivered is a social faux pas, but it can also create legal snags in certain circumstances. In a recent case that some consider a victory

Should children have free access to both parents after divorce?

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Friday, October 17, 2014. What is the best outcome for children when their parents get divorced? This is a question that has been debated vigorously for at least a half-century. Early on, the assumption was that children needed to be raised by their mothers, particularly during their very early years. For better or worse, that model largely continues today, although it is now more common than in the past for fathers to be granted primary or sole custody. Increasingly, courts are trying to keep both parents involved in their children’s lives after
