Similarly, if you run a business and have borrowed against it to support your family, that money

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Friday, May 8, 2020. When you don’t have regular custody of your child, it can be hard. You may have visitation times now that are limited, and it could make it feel impossible to build on your relationship with your child.

March 27, 2020

On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Friday, March 27, 2020. Even at the best of times, a divorce is a complex situation. You’re ending a relationship, but unlike relationships where you weren’t married, you’re obligated to go through your assets and be fair in how you divide them.

This isn’t necessarily the same as dividing your property equally. For example, if you earn more than your spouse but both of

In many cases, these rights could be forfeited if there is no legal connection between a man and his child. In addition, a child gets access
