Military pensions valuable in divorce

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Saturday, March 24, 2012. When a couple is in the process of obtaining a divorce, if one spouse was a member of the armed forces, it turns out a military pension may be one of the most valuable assets. But, like any asset, problems can arise during and after the divorce — especially if the marriage overlapped the time in service. Unlike pensions attached to most other careers, there is not an age for individuals in the military to cash out. For example, this would mean that an 18 year who enlisted and served 20

Smartphone data ending up as evidence in family law court

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Tuesday, March 13, 2012. In today’s world more and more people are using smartphones — such as iPhones and Androids — on a daily basis to send text messages, make phone calls, look up online information, use a GPS and check different social media sites. And while having this handy device right in your back pocket certainly adds a level of convenience to life, many are seeing their smartphone being used as evidence in a divorce proceeding.

Appeals court rules man responsible for child support

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Friday, March 9, 2012. A Nigerian immigrant was recently ordered to pay child support for twins who were conceived through in vitro fertilization. The father claims that the twins were conceived well after he and his spouse split up, and he should not be held financially responsible to pay child support for the two 9-year-old girls. According to sources, the couple had married in 1991 and tried unsuccessfully for several years to get pregnant. Eventually, the two decided to get put on a waiting list for a donor egg to be matched with the

Should spending habits be used in divorce proceedings?

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Wednesday, March 7, 2012. A recent article got quite a bit of attention when it was reported that some companies, like Target, mine data from consumer’s purchases in order to identify a life cycle event — like a marriage, pregnancy or divorce — in order to change shopping habits and obtain brand loyalty from that consumer. Of course there’s many ethical questions regarding these types of initiatives, but there are also many concerns regarding how these initiatives could end up impacting a divorce proceeding. For example, let’s say that your soon-to-be ex-wife is battling you

Benefits changes may hurt poor fathers who owe child support

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Thursday, March 1, 2012. A current change to how the Department of the Treasury pays out federal benefits may end up having a negative impact on Missouri fathers who are already behind on child support payments. The change is scheduled to take place next March. Currently, people who receive federal benefits, such as Social Security, veterans’ benefits or disability, are able to receive those benefits in the form of a check. For a father who may have his bank account frozen by the state for unpaid child support, by receiving the benefit in

Update: Missouri father wins six year custody battle

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Paternity on Tuesday, February 28, 2012. More than a year ago we posted on one Missouri father’s ongoing battle to get custody of his son. The claim was that his girlfriend had been suffering from postpartum depression when she signed away parental rights of the couple’s 3-month-old baby without first consulting the father. Since he did not sign the birth certificate at the time of his son’s birth, he was left with no legal rights to stop the adoption process. However, now seven years after the start of the custody battle, which went all the way to the Missouri Supreme Court,
