You can seek more than half your property, but is it fair?

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Thursday, May 28, 2020. You and your spouse have kept most of your assets separate. During your marriage, you focused on buying the things you needed for yourself and they bought what they needed for themselves. It was rare that you’d invest in anything that was truly shared, other than furniture or appliances. Now that you’re divorcing, you find it shocking that your spouse is trying to keep many of the assets you purchased during the marriage. You had always thought that they’d be reasonable, but all of

How does divorce affect property in Missouri?

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Wednesday, May 27, 2020. No one is thinking about it when they say their vows, but roughly half of people who get married end up getting divorced. Divorce is usually not quite so simple, as people need to recreate individual lives with their own assets. So who gets what assets? How does Missouri work out property division in a divorce? Some states operate on a “community property” rule and will usually divide the marital assets in half. Other states, including Missouri, have equitable distribution, which gives the courts

Act quickly when you can no longer afford to pay child support

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Friday, May 22, 2020. Getting a court order determining the amount of child support you must pay does not always mean you can afford the payments. However, you cannot simply stop making your payments, as this would result in significant legal consequences. It may also affect your relationship with your children. In our experience serving Saint Louis County families, we have learned that nearly all parents want to provide for their kids. Unfortunately, life sometimes has an annoying way of making it hard to accomplish this goal. Losing

Why would I need to claim child custody?

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Wednesday, May 13, 2020. When it comes to your child, you leave nothing to chance. Didn’t you grow a new set of nerves the day your kid was born? Their pain becomes your pain, and you end up caring about little more than their well-being. So, what happens when you have to stand up for your right to be a full parent? Why would I need to claim child custody? Separated parents in Missouri may have to submit a plan for child custody to a court in order

If you’re worried about parental kidnapping, you can get help

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Wednesday, May 13, 2020. You’ve always worried that your spouse would try to run away with your children. They’d had some issues in the past where they’d go out for too long and not return the kids on time. Once, it was a full day later before you finally got a call from your ex to say that they were on their way. The panic that you feel every time that happens is unfair and unacceptable. If your ex-spouse is not bringing your children to you or meeting

Unexpected benefits often accompany Missouri legal separations

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce/Separation on Thursday, May 7, 2020. Making the difficult decision to end a marriage requires careful consideration. A divorce seems final and, in most cases, it is final. Rushing into divorce can turn into a big mistake for couples who are not 100% certain ending their marriage is the best option. In Missouri, couples can seek a legal separation instead of a divorce. Although it may seem like a temporary solution, separation can be advantageous in some cases. One of the biggest advantages is giving couples time and space to consider

Can’t divide your assets? A judge will do it for you

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Friday, May 1, 2020. Divorce is tricky for even the calmest couples, because there can be a large amount of money or a great number of assets at stake. Since Missouri is an equitable distribution state, judges can decide how to divide your property for you in a way that they believe is fair based on your contributions to your marriage. To avoid having a total stranger divide your assets, it’s a good idea to work with your spouse to divide your property instead. Some of the assets
