Divorce can be hard for many reasons, from custody to child support arrangements. However, there are times when the end of marriage can become especially troubling. For example, someone may have to deal with threats from their spouse, whether these threats involve violence or have to do with legal issues involving children. Stange Law Firm is aware of how troubling this can be for parents, and we know how essential it is for people to handle these types of disputes appropriately, as difficult as that can be at times.
Addressing threats during the divorce process
Family law issues and retirement
Whether someone is worried about the outcome of a child custody dispute or is unsure of how their marital property will be divvied up, splitting up with a spouse can be tough in many different ways. However, those who have made the decision to file for divorce shortly before or right after retiring may face additional challenges. Our law firm also realizes that some people may be caught off-guard after their spouse decides to call off the marriage right around the time of their retirement. If you are facing these hurdles, you should review your rights and take steps to protect your future.
Family law issues and vacations
There are many different problems that people come across with regard to family law.

Our law firm knows how vital it is to work through these matters correctly and it can be very beneficial for you to find ways to relieve stress. Sometimes, people are able to regain a fresher focus and temporarily set aside some of their worries by traveling, while others may be afraid that legal issues related to family law will interrupt their vacation.
