Kirk Stange | Divorce & Family Lawyer

Any time where you feel like you can help bring back peace to a family that was in turmoil is a rewarding experience.

Stange Law Firm, PC opened in 2007 with the mindset of helping people solely through their family law matters. We have been practicing family law ever since and our attorneys are experienced in focusing on family law matters. A successful practice comes from attorneys who are caring and who are there to help people through one of the hardest times of their life. Stange Law Firm, PC focuses on client satisfaction and has multiple outlets to help clients receive the best care they can get when going through a family law issue.

Clients should look for a lawyer who is experienced in the field that you have a case in. Clients should also look for a lawyer who is honest, relatable, competent and communicative. This way, clients know that they will be taken care of every step of the way.

Local knowledge can be important when it comes to family law cases. The court rules vary from state to state so it is important that your attorney knows those rules based on your jurisdiction. What information can you provide in a consultation? In a consultation, we can gather information from the potential client, help explain the legal process and help develop strategies should we decide that representation is mutually beneficial. What information do you need in a consultation? In a free phone consultation, we need you to tell us about your specific case. This will give us a better idea about how we are going to go about helping you if you decide to hire us to be your attorney. It will also be beneficial for you to tell us the major issues or disagreements that you and the other party are going through in order for us to get an even better idea. What ares of law does your firm practice? We are proud of the fact that we only practice divorce, domestic relations and family law.

The most rewarding aspect of my job is being able to help people and families through the most challenging times in their lives.

Family, Sports, Reading, Community Involvement

Charitable giving and community service is very important to Stange Law Firm, PC. We are always giving our time and money to the community in order to help make it a better place. Old Newsboys, which is an organization in St. Louis that awards grants to hundreds of charities, is a big organization that we give to each year. We also sponsor numerous organizations throughout the community. My wife and I received the Making A Difference Award from Old Newsboys in 2015 and the Golden Plate Award in 2016 for our involvement. I also am on the Advisory Council for Kids Rock Cancer, which is a music therapy program through Maryville University for children with cancer. I also serve on the National Leadership Counsel at Maryville University. For donations to Maryville University for Kids Rock Cancer, we were welcomed to Maryville University's highest-level annual giving recognition club, the Phillippine Duchesne Society. We have also given to numerous other charities and organizations through our time and our money.

Many Custody Cases Being Complicated by Schools Not Reopening  (2020-11-02 11:44:29)
August is always a tough month for parties going through divorce or custody disputes. In many cases, parties have trouble agreeing on where the children will go to school. Even further, these custody cases are being complicated by schools not reopening due to COVID-19.

Dividing a 401(k) in Divorce  (2020-11-02 11:49:50)
A 401(k) is a common asset that has to be divided in a divorce. In many cases, the 401(k) is one of the more valuable assets. Individuals often work their whole career trying to build up their 401(k) balance so that they can retire. However, in a divorce, the 401(k) often ends up divided as part of the property division process.
