Detecting domestic violence

March 5, 2019

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Domestic Violence on Tuesday, March 5, 2019. Many victims of domestic violence in Illinois require treatment at a hospital. When providing medical attention, physicians usually ask about the cause of an injury. Whether it’s out of fear of their abuser or a sense of denial, a victim may lie about the cause. Fortunately, physicians are finding new ways to detect domestic violence. Recently, a group of doctors published a study detailing the radiographic findings in domestic violence. Put more simply, doctors can make more educated guesses as to how a patient

Why child support payments may be terminated

February 22, 2019

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Friday, February 22, 2019. Illinois parents with child support obligations could face negative consequences if they fail to make full payments. This is true even if a custodial parent withholds visitation or otherwise interferes with the relationship between the noncustodial parent and child. Generally speaking, the courts see child support and child custody or visitation issues as two separate matters. Therefore, a parent would need to go to court to remedy any visitation issues.

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Friday, February 8, 2019. While every family court judge tries to rule in the best interest of the child in each case, the reality is that mistakes happen.

Thankfully, parents have the right to appeal most custody orders, but the rules regarding these appeals can vary between one state and another. The first thing to consider is whether the order in the custody case is final. A final order

When Parents Share Custody, Who Pays Support?

January 11, 2019

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Support on Friday, January 11, 2019. As Illinois parents know, child support is usually the responsibility of the non-custodial parent. However, while this might be simpler to establish when one parent has custody and the other parent has visitation rights, the question of how child support is paid when parents share custody is more difficult to answer. Joint custody, or shared custody, happens when parents split legal or physical custody of the child equally. This means that parents share the responsibility of the day-to-day raising of their children. So, while

What to avoid when dividing a home in a divorce

December 26, 2018

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Property Division on Wednesday, December 26, 2018. Illinois homeowners who are getting divorced may face several issues during the property division process. If one spouse keeps the home, the other should be removed from the deed. Otherwise, there could be problems later if an amicable divorce turns contentious and the owner wants to sell. Problems could also arise for both exes if the owner goes into foreclosure. Another common error is when one person fights for the home without first making sure it is affordable. While couples could agree to a
