Read How a Mother and Daughter Have A Shared Bond Through Coffee

FAMILY LAW There are definite differences in Illinois law between the olden days and the present day. Paternity and maternity issues for couples are still frequently addressed differently in Illinois than in other parts of the country. For example, it is no longer automatically the mother who receives full custody. A father, in many cases, is equally entitled to custody and in some cases may be granted full legal rights to his children. At Bigham, Tanner & Foster we are here to help you protect your rights and your family’s rights. Another major change in family law in Illinois is how prenuptial agreements are viewed. In the past, prenuptial agreements were once a binding agreement made before a couple was wed. In today’s courts they are often viewed as a matter of fact rather than an agreement. In many cases prenuptial agreements have been declared null and void by lower courts. Give Bigham, Tanner & Foster a call today to determine if you need a prenuptial agreement. Illinois recognizes that some relationships are not as secure as others. For this reason, there are a variety of circumstances to be considered when determining custody and visitation rights for the children. If the parents cannot come to an agreement on custody or visitation, it is up to the court to determine which parent would have the be best situation to provide the child with the greatest chances of living a healthy and successful life. Child support is an important factor that will play a large part in any divorce or child custody situation. Illinois child support laws are different than other states and the amount of support can vary depending upon the income levels, family situations, and the amount of contact the child has with both parents. Joint custody, sole custody, split custody are all areas that must be considered when setting child support levels.

Water slide rentals have also become popular with the local schools. Frequently you will see water slides for events such as Game Day towards the end of school for a reward to students for a great year. Water slides and other inflatables are a great way to enhance a party and provide hours of entertainment. However, there are a few things to always consider when renting a water slide or any inflatable: 1. SPACE: It is important to ensure you have adequate space to put the water slide or inflatable. It is a good idea to take the time to measure the space you have and take a look up as well to ensure there are no overhead wires that could be a problem for a tall inflatable or slide. 2. TYPE OF SLIDE: When renting a water slide, the 3 major factors you must consider are budget, age group of participants, and space. Entry level slides generally range from 12 to 15 ft in height, 12 ft in width, and 25 feet in length. Make sure to check if you need a certain size. The cost to rent the item will average between $150 and $300, (in some cases higher depending on the inflatable or slide) for 4 hours. If you need it for more time, check with them, in many cases you can work out a deal for a great price! Check out the many different types of slides, inflatables available at Gateway Rentals . 3. ACCESS TO WATER: Water slides require access to continuous water during the entire time of the rental. Make sure your water access is not restricted. 4. ELECTRICITY: The inflatable slides and toys will require adequate power to run. Confirm with the rental company how many blowers and what horsepower blowers the unit will need. 5. SETTING UP: It is generally a good idea to place the slide on a fairly level ground. It will generally be alright if there is a very slight slope. Let the rental company know what type of ground you want the unit set on, whether it is grass, concrete, or dirt. They will know what needs to be done in each case. Gateway Rental handles the set up to ensure you are safe! 6. ANCHORING – It is important to note they will be using large spikes, anywhere from 12 to 30 inches long, driven into the ground to secure the slide or inflatable in place. It is not a bad idea to contact the company in your area that checks the ground when people dig. In Southern Illinois it is called JULIE Before you dig and the service is free! There is no reason to not do this to provide additional safety to your event.

Reduce Risk of Storm Damage Losing power is never a pleasant experience. Branches and power lines just do not work well together. Generally utility companies regularly trim overhead lines on or near their public thoroughfares. But in some cases they require the homeowners to trim their trees at their own expense when the power lines span over the private property. Trimming your trees that grow near power lines will help to reduce the damage caused when a branch breaks and falls directly onto a power line. Cracked or weakened branches can cause accidents or even damage during a thunderstorm or even a snowstorm. Midwest Tree Service provides emergency storm damage cleanup should you experience downed trees during a storm. We are there for you even in the middle of the night! Tree Trimming To Prevent Injuries Regular tree trimming can help to prevent injuries to people who are walking by your property and experience a sudden dropping branch due to damage or breakage. Sometimes branches will just hang after the break and if they are hanging down low enough, they can create a dangerous situation for anyone who might bump into them. Midwest Tree Service also offers cleanup services, including chipping, raking and removal of trees. Other Tree Services Once the tree trimming is complete, sometimes you may need a tree removed, a stump ground down, dirt fill in, or even re-seeding. In some cases you may want to move on to lawn maintenance. Contact Midwest Tree Service today for all you tree trimming and lawn service needs. We handle it all! We are here to help answer any questions you may have.
