On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Wednesday, January 29, 2020. Just hearing the term property division typically strikes fear into the hearts of all Missouri residents getting divorced. The process is often messy, intimidating, stressful and emotionally devastating. However, it is an important part of getting divorced.

Prenuptial agreements must be carefully drafted

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Friday, January 24, 2020. Previous posts on this blog have discussed premarital agreements, which are also commonly referred to as prenuptial agreements or even just prenups.

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce/Separation on Friday, January 24, 2020.

Illinois man arrested for child abduction amid custody dispute

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Thursday, January 9, 2020. In Saint Louis and other areas in the Midwest, divorce can bring about some of the most contentious and emotional issues. Take, for example, child custody disputes. While parents should be focused on the needs and best interests of the child or children involved in the divorce process, the reality is that children could be improperly used to be hurtful and spiteful against an ex. In other cases, a parent may fight to keep a child with them because they truly believe that would serve their best interests.
