Mother jailed for owing more than $300,000 in child support

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Monday, June 10, 2013. Child support is money that goes to the custodial parent by the noncustodial parent. The idea is this money goes toward the care of the children, such as food, clothing and housing. When a judge uses guidelines to set the amount that is owed by the noncustodial parent — unless a modification is approved by the courts — this is not something that is optional. Failng to pay child support can lead to a parent being arrested and placed in jail. Recently, one mother who owes more than

Father’s rights part 2: How fair is child custody?

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Fathers’ Rights on Thursday, June 6, 2013. In our last post we focused on how some fathers feel unfairly treated when it comes to divorce, especially in terms of being ordered to pay lifetime alimony to an ex-wife who is fully capable of working. However, this is not the only form of gender discrimination, as many men also claim to experience sexism when it comes to child custody. David Benatar’s monograph The Second Sexism brings up a number of different disadvantages experienced by men around the country. Child custody is one of the big ones.

Looking ahead to life after a child custody decision

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Thursday, May 30, 2013. In our last post we focused on things fathers should know before walking into the courtroom. And while it is certainly important for a dad to know exactly what he wants and to have an attorney who understands those wants, it is also important that a father thinks about what life will look like outside of the courtroom. For example, say a father just accepts a child custody arrangement from an ex-wife and settles. This arrangement means dad gets the child every other weekend and every Thursday night dinner. On

Child custody in Missouri: Fathers need to know what to expect

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Fathers’ Rights on Tuesday, May 28, 2013. When a relationship ends it is hard on everyone, especially when there are children involved. However, by pre-planning a little and having an understanding on what to expect from the beginning, fathers have a better chance of being able to accurately articulate their arguments on why a child custody or visitation schedule should be awarded in a certain way. For fathers, the first thing to keep in mind is that it is best to know exactly what the desired outcome is right from the very beginning. This means

Father’s custody and visitation rights are ignored

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Friday, May 24, 2013. Though we hope such a circumstance is uncommon, one particular father has not seen his children in close to two years. The last time he saw his children back in 2011, delays in dropping the children off by their mother resulted in this father only able to see his children for two hours. This could be a part of what is called parental alienation. This results when one parent turns the children against the other parent by various ploys. For example, the mother may cast aspersions upon the

Father involvement important to well being of daughters

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Visitation on Friday, May 24, 2013. The importance of a father’s involvement in their children’s life now appears to be indisputable. A recent study even revealed that there is a connection between a young girl’s depression and separation from her father. It must be emphasized that such separations are often not the fault of the father. A predictor in the father’s ability to relate well with her daughter can be dependent upon the actions of the mother. The chances of a poor relationship between father and daughter can be facilitated by a mother’s interference in
