Britney Spears seeking more time with her sons
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in child custody on Wednesday, December 18, 2019. Many people in Kansas have heard of Britney Spears’ recent mental health and child custody struggles. According to reports, Spears’ custody agreement with her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, was altered after she checked into a treatment center in September. The ex-couple’s 50-50 custody agreement was changed to a 70-30 split with Spears having the smaller amount of time with her two sons. US Weekly reported that Spears has plans to seek more parenting time when she goes back to family court next year. Spears will
How women can prepare financially for divorce
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in divorce on Monday, December 2, 2019. The median income for women is significantly lower than that of men, and women in particular may suffer financially after a divorce. However, women in Kansas can also take steps that will help them get back on a secure financial footing before, during and after the divorce. Before the divorce is underway, women should gather important documents about the family finances. This might include tax returns, bank statements, property titles and more. If they do not have credit in their own name, they may want
Co-parenting with a difficult ex
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in child custody on Tuesday, November 19, 2019. Many divorced and divorcing parents in Kansas are concerned about their children. They want to spend time with their kids while also recognizing that children benefit from having a strong relationship with both parents. However, there are situations in which effective co-parenting can be particularly challenging. While many divorces are amicable, others are not. In some cases, one spouse may engage in controlling, unpleasant or aggressive behavior that makes the relationship difficult or intolerable for the other spouse. In divorces where there are no
Child support payments may linger into adulthood
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in child support on Thursday, November 7, 2019. Kansas parents and others who are divorced or separated may be entitled to child support payments. While these payments typically end when a child turns 18, there are exceptions to this rule. For instance, parents may receive financial assistance until a child graduates from high school or until a son or daughter turns 21. Noncustodial parents may be required to help pay a son or daughter’s college tuition or make additional support payments for an adult child who is in college. In some cases,
How social media is affecting divorce cases
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in divorce on Thursday, October 24, 2019. Some Kansas residents may be surprised to find out just how much social media evidence is looked at when it comes to divorce cases. Of course, this makes sense considering that millions of people are using social media accounts to share photographs, keep in touch with friends, and share what is going on in their lives. It has been estimated that over 80% of attorneys discover evidence in social media posts that are worth using in court. Over 60% of cases involving the end of
Reasons men may not report domestic violence
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in divorce on Friday, October 11, 2019. At Stange Law Firm, we believe that regardless of whether you are male or female, you have the right to feel safe, particularly at home. However, domestic violence against men happens in the United States, including Kansas, every day. The Crime Report cites data from the Centers for Disease Control indicating that the portion of men in the United States who experience stalking and/or violence of a physical or sexual nature at the hands of an intimate partner (including but not limited to spouses) at some point in their
Paying for the kids’ extracurricular activities
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in child support on Monday, September 30, 2019. There is a certain sense of finality that comes with divorce, yet despite this feeling, you and all of the others involved in your proceedings will eventually regain the perspective that life does indeed go on. Not only does it continue for you and your now ex-spouse, but it also does for your kids. That means years and years of more soccer games, dance recitals, band camps and beauty pageants. As you know, all of these activities cost money, and this prompts many to
