Managing a difficult child custody situation

November 21, 2019

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in child custody on Thursday, November 21, 2019. Divorcing parents in Illinois often find it difficult to adjust to a co-parenting relationship. This is true in the most amicable of cases, but it poses a particular problem in high-conflict situations. The disputes may spill over into the child custody situation, leading to parents bad-mouthing each other to the children or undermining the custody agreement or visitation schedule. While co-parenting with a toxic former partner adds additional strain and stress, there are ways to defuse difficult situations and put the children’s best interests

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in child support on Friday, October 25, 2019. There are several steps a parent in Illinois may need to go through to file for child support.

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in fathers’ rights on Friday, October 11, 2019. The guiding principle behind any child custody decision is the best interests of the child.

Parents cannot be faulted for loving their children, yet at the same time, their motives for not wanting their children’s other parents to have regular access to them can often come under question. One might reasonably wonder if they have their children’s best interests in mind, or are rather allowing their own personal feelings to drive their decisions. It is understandable that parents feel a great deal of emotion (both good and bad) when

September 16, 2019

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in divorce on Monday, September 16, 2019. Those entering into divorce cases in Bloomington may be looking forward to a swift resolution to their proceedings. At the same time, they might also be prepared to battle relentlessly over certain aspects of their cases (such as asset division).
