Is it wise to opt for a DIY divorce in Missouri?

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Monday, December 2, 2013. Many Missouri couples who are ending their marriages would like to do so amicably. An amicable divorce, also known as an uncontested divorce, is one in which both spouses negotiate the terms of the split with the mutual goal of fairness. In uncontested divorces, spouses are able to avoid the stress, unpredictability and expenses associated with litigated divorces. Uncontested divorce is a great option when spouses are able to come to agreements on things like child custody, child support, and the division of property and debt. While uncontested divorces

Should you pay both of your exes equal amounts of child support?

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Friday, November 29, 2013. In St. Louis, people who have children from more than one relationship may end up with multiple child support orders. The orders may not be identical for each relationship. For example, the amount of child support a father pays for a daughter from his first marriage may be more or less than the amount he is ordered to pay for a daughter from his second marriage. This is because child support is calculated based upon a number of factors. Missouri courts consider the income of each parent, health costs of

Domestic violence is present in many St. Louis homes

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Monday, November 25, 2013. Thanksgiving is only a few days away, and many St. Louis residents are preparing for a day, or even a long weekend, full of festivities with the ones they love. However, during the holiday season it is important to remember that not every home is a happy home. Domestic violence may be a plague inside a home in your neighborhood, on your block, or right next door. Domestic abuse or accusations of abuse may exist right under your own roof. Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against

What to do when you fall behind on child support in Missouri

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Friday, November 22, 2013. Many fathers and mothers in the St. Louis area are behind on their child support obligations. This is not necessarily because they are bad parents or because they do not want to support their children, but rather because times are tough. Many people are seeing their wages remain flat, or even decrease, while the costs of all of the essentials – groceries, transportation, medicine and clothing – continue to rise. Such conditions can make it very difficult for people to send those child support checks. In 2009, the

Is alimony unconstitutional?

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Wednesday, November 20, 2013. Spousal support, also known as alimony, is a point of contention in many St. Louis divorce cases. Spousal support matters can be particularly complicated because Missouri law does not provide specific guidelines for determining spousal support rights or obligations. This means that courts have broad discretion to either award or not award alimony. When spousal maintenance is awarded, the duration is typically left open-ended, meaning that the order will last until death or remarriage. Lifetime alimony is very controversial in a number of states, but it is not that uncommon here,

Missouri stepparents may wish to make relationships official

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Paternity on Saturday, November 16, 2013. As St. Louis-area readers of our blog know, families come in all shapes and sizes these days. Interracial households, same-sex parents and single fathers raising their children might all have raised eyebrows once upon a time. These days, however, what might have been considered a non-traditional family once upon a time is utterly commonplace. Stepparents are hardly considered novel anymore either. Couples marry, divorce and remarry new partners with such frequency that there are all sorts of interpersonal relationships at work under the same roof: half-siblings, stepsiblings and stepparents
