If you face a child custody problem in Madison County in Maryville, Illinois, Stange Law Firm, PC can help you. We will help you understand what the local judges expect and how they evaluate legal and physical custody decisions.

Speaking of local judges, as of January 1, 2016, Illinois courts are no longer using the terms “custody” and “visitation”. They have been replaced with “allocate parental responsibilities and parenting time” via an agreed upon or negotiated “Parenting Plan”.

We are comfortable with this new landscape, as we have always prided ourselves on establishing a comprehensive, durable parenting plan for our clients and their children.

We do everything possible to amicably settle a case without the need for lengthy proceedings. However, when that is not possible, and court becomes necessary to protect your interests, we are a respected law firm that you can zealously advocate on your behalf.

As noted in their personal biographies, many of our lawyers have received awards for family law, as well as both of our founding partners of the firm. Founding Partner Kirk Stange of Stange Law Firm, PC has been recognized by Missouri and Kansas Super Lawyer Magazine since 2015.

In the state of Illinois, what used to called “child custody” is now called “allocation of parental responsibilities.” In the state of Illinois, the courts may now “allocate” to each individual decision making power over each different section of the child’s life.

ABOUT

Full Service Child Custody Representation

Our child custody practice focuses on protecting the wellbeing of children and the rights of parents. We handle issues such as:
Visitation
Often called parenting time, visitation is the amount of time a noncustodial parent spends with his or her child. We can handle a broad spectrum of visitation matters.
Creating a parenting plan
Getting visitation rights means drafting a parenting plan that works. We can help.
Relocation with a child
Courts have continuing jurisdiction over child custody and visitation orders. So, when a parent wants to move, it is usually necessary to get the court's permission first. Failure to do so can put your time with your child in jeopardy.
Enforcement of orders
If a parent fails to follow a child custody order, it may be possible to take him or her to court to enforce the order.
Contempt of court
If you are found to have repeatedly ignored a court order, you may be found in contempt of court.
Modification of orders:
When you need a court order changed, you can work with the experienced attorneys at Stange Law Firm, PC.
Custody Issues for Nonmarried Parents
Next to divorce actions, paternity cases (custody and support cases between unmarried parents) are among the most common cases in family law.
Parental Rights
Parents are often concerns about their parental rights, especially fathers in certain circumstances.
Family Access Motions
If you are being denied access to your children, you may want to consider a family access motion.
Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act
If you have jurisdictional issues involving your custody case, you will want an attorney familiar with the UCCJEA.
Custody Evaluations
If you have a complex custody case where psychological issues or abuse may be in play, you might want to consider a child custody evaluation
Hague Convention
If you are dealing with an international child custody dispute, and perhaps child abduction, knowing about the Hague Convention is often critical.
Third-Party Custody
If you are not the biological parents, in certain cases all may not be lost. You might have a right to third party custody in certain situations.
Fertility and Surrogacy
Fertility and surrogacy is a growing area of the law for those who want children.
Transportation
In some custody cases, parties might live far apart. This can result in difficult child custody cases with transportation at issue.
