Many couples separate after seven years, divorce by eighth year

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Monday, August 1, 2011. While many couples may decide to split after just a few years into their marriage, and others might file for divorce after 25 years of marriage, recent numbers from the U.S. Census determined that the median for first time marriages to end is at eight years, with the initial separation happening after seven years. In general, when looking at this seven-year itch, many couples who have called it quits point to the stress of children, work and other pressures that have been building up over the years. At around the seven

Primary custody being awarded to fathers more accepted

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Fathers’ Rights on Friday, July 29, 2011. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in the past ten years there has been a 27.3 percent increase in the number of households led by single parent fathers. And while the number of single dads is still less than the number of single mothers, the fact that there has at least been an increase shows that there seems to be a greater acceptance of the idea of a father being awarded primary or joint custody. More single fathers are also willing to endure the court proceedings in order to

Schwarzenegger changes alimony on divorce filing to yes

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Wednesday, July 27, 2011. While it’s not 100 percent known why Arnold Schwarzenegger at first expressed interest in not paying his soon-to-be ex wife Maria Shriver spousal support, some are saying that the former governor may have decided for public relations reasons it’s better to offer not only alimony payments, but also to pay for legal counsel. The very public divorce filing goes back to June 1 when Shriver filed citing irreconcilable differences. She also checked boxes on her filing related to wanting financial support for legal counsel and alimony. However, in Schwarzenegger’s divorce

Parents punished in custody cases for chubby kids

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Thursday, July 21, 2011. The American Medical Association is increasingly worried for our nation’s children, and they are calling for drastic action. A commentary in a recent American Medical Association Journal proposed that obese children be removed from their parents’ custody and placed into foster care to receive the diet and exercise they need. If childhood obesity becomes grounds for removal of a child from the family home, it will have an impact on how custody determinations are made in divorce proceedings. Parents may have to provide evidence to the judge that they are

Some parents in Missouri still owed child support

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Wednesday, July 20, 2011. In the state of Missouri there are close to 400,000 people who are supposed to be paying child support. And while there are serious consequences for failing to pay, like wage garnishment and have a driver’s license suspended, some are saying that some parents are still not paying, and that the Missouri Division of Child Support Enforcement is in need of help when it comes to enforcing the rules on those who owe. One woman recently shared her story, claiming that for the past eight years the most

Mother lies about ex to try and win custody of their kids

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Friday, July 15, 2011. Child custody battles between two parents can get pretty heated, and in some situations one parent will even make allegations against the other as a way to try and win custody. Recently this happened when a 21-year-old mother lied to police about her ex breaking a restraining order. According to sources, the woman had called police at approximately 1:30 a.m. and claimed that her ex had just violated the restraining order she had against him by showing up at her apartment intoxicated and yelling at her. She also claimed
