Playing sports strengthens father-daughter bond
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Fathers' Rights on Tuesday, February 26, 2013.
Studies have shown how important it is for daughters to have close relationships with their fathers. In fact, one study published in the journal Development and Psychology found that those girls who grow up with a lower quality of fatherhood in their lives tend to take more dangerous risks during their adolescent years. This is yet just one of the reasons that fathers need to make sure to have an active role in their children's lives, even after a divorce.

Part 2: Divorce and finances
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Sunday, February 24, 2013.
In our last post we focused on the importance of thinking ahead before filing for divorce. How would filing now affect a business? What assets would be considered marital property?

Could legislation reduce the divorce rate in Missouri? - Part 2
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Friday, February 8, 2013.
As we discussed in our post earlier in the week, the legislation expected to be introduced in Missouri by the Speaker of the House, Timothy Jones would institute a "responsible spouse" policy that in essence would allow the party who does not want the divorce to be awarded 70 percent of the community or marital property. Not only that, but if the couple has children, the mother would receive custody of the children for the first seven years following the divorce.

Could legislation reduce the divorce rate in Missouri? - Part 1
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Divorce on Thursday, February 7, 2013.
A recent news article reported that Missouri Speaker of the House, Timothy Jones, is planning on introducing legislation that is aimed at increasing the marriage rate, reducing the number of "out-of-wedlock" babies and making it more difficult to obtain a divorce in the state. Apparently another goal of the legislation is to make it financially less attractive for unmarried women to have children. This is according to a national marriage consultant and co-founder of Marriage Savers.
