The first step to gaining custody as a father

May 8, 2020

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in fathers’ rights on Friday, May 8, 2020. If you are the father of a child and you want to gain custody, you will have a high chance of being able to do so. Child custody courts always make decisions that are in the best interests of the child involved. They encourage both parents to have a strong relationship with their child, and they would only deny a parent visitation rights if it’s believed that the parent poses a risk to the child. Before filing for custody as a father, you will

To keep your divorce private, mediate. Don’t litigate

April 24, 2020

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in divorce mediation on Friday, April 24, 2020. Choosing to mediate your Illinois divorce is often the sanest option available. Especially if the two of you share minor children, mediating rather than litigating the divorce can allow you to preserve a civil parenting relationship with your ex. The two of you obviously have disagreements, otherwise, there would be no need to divorce. But a protracted divorce battle will only further decimate your already fractured relationship.

How do you cope when you and your spouse clearly don’t get along but are stuck living together for the foreseeable future?

Can your ex just ‘take the kids’ away from you?

March 27, 2020

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in child custody on Friday, March 27, 2020. One of the most devastating and gut-wrenching threats one parent can hurl at another is the statement, “I’ll take the kids, and you’ll never see them!” If your spouse has just threatened you with these words or anything similar, take a deep breath and a big step back. Your spouse doesn’t have all of the control in this situation. The courts are primarily concerned with doing whatever is best for the children in this situation — which usually means having both parents around. Your

Getting divorced can be emotionally painful regardless of how long individuals have thought about pursuing them. However, Illinois residents and others might be able to make the process of ending their marriages easier by working with mediators.

Illinois parents who have gotten divorced may be restricted to having supervised visitation with their children.
