How We Can Help – Florida Family Law Services

At The Family Law and Mediation Firm, P.A., we offer flexible, personalized legal services for people navigating divorce, co-parenting, and family transitions. Whether you’re looking to avoid court through mediation or need full legal representation, we meet you where you are — and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Divorce in Florida – Peaceful or Contested

Divorce doesn’t have to be a war. We guide clients through uncontested divorces, mediated settlements, and high-conflict litigation. Whether you're working together or can't agree on anything, we help you protect your peace, your children, and your future

Child Support – Start, Modify, or Enforce Payments

If you’re seeking child support, need to modify it, or want to enforce a current order, we make sure the numbers are fair, legal, and based on Florida guidelines. We also handle support disputes through both court and mediation.

Time-Sharing & Parenting Plans (aka Child Custody)

Parenting after separation can feel overwhelming. We help parents create, adjust, or enforce parenting plans and time-sharing agreements that put the children first — whether you're cooperating or need the court to intervene.

Paternity & Fathers’ Rights

If you're a father seeking rights or a mother needing support, establishing legal paternity is step one. We help with DNA testing, court filings, and parenting plan creation — giving both parents the legal footing they need.

Mediation & Flat-Fee Document Drafting

For couples who agree on most things (or want to try), we offer flat-fee mediation and legal document preparation — no court battle required. Start your divorce or custody process in a low-conflict, high-clarity environment.

Modifying Existing Court Orders

Life changes. When it does, Florida law allows you to update child support, parenting plans, alimony, or other court orders. We help file or defend against post-judgment modifications, also called supplemental petitions.

Co-Parent Relocation Requests

If you or your co-parent want to move more than 50 miles away with a child, Florida law requires legal approval. Whether you’re requesting or contesting a relocation, we help you make your case and protect your parenting rights.

Domestic Violence Protection (Injunctions)

If you need safety from abuse, stalking, or threats, we can help you file for an injunction (restraining order). If you’ve been falsely accused, we also defend clients in injunction hearings. Your safety and rights matter.

When Court Orders Are Ignored

If the other parent isn’t following your parenting plan, paying support, or complying with the court, we help you enforce your rights — or defend you if you're being wrongfully accused of non-compliance.

Prenups & Postnups – Plan for What-Ifs

Whether you’re planning a wedding or working through marital challenges, a clear, fair marital agreement can protect everyone involved. We draft and review prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that hold up in Florida court.

Stepparent & Relative Adoptions

When you're ready to make the bond official, we’ll guide you through the legal adoption process — from paperwork to final hearing — for stepparents, grandparents, and other family members.

Name Changes for Adults & Children

Changing your name? Whether it's part of a divorce, gender affirmation, or just personal preference, we file the paperwork and guide you through Florida’s legal name change process.

Passport Problems with Co-Parents

If the other parent won’t sign a passport application or is blocking international travel, we can help you resolve the issue through the courts.

Unpaid Child or Spousal Support?

We help collect past-due support through legal enforcement methods like garnishments, income withholding, and liens — so you can get the financial support you’re owed.

Appealing a Bad Family Court Decision

Sometimes the court doesn’t get it right. If you’ve received a ruling that feels unfair or legally incorrect, we can evaluate your options for appeal and help you make the strongest case to a higher court.

Not Ready to Divorce Yet? Try Separation Support

If you’re separating but not ready to divorce, we help you divide finances, set boundaries, and protect your rights through legally binding agreements — without filing for dissolution just yet.

Responding to the Florida Department of Revenue

If DOR is contacting you about paternity or child support, we can help you understand your rights and respond properly — before things escalate into court orders you didn’t see coming.

Need to File a Motion? We’ll Handle It.

Whether you need a motion for contempt, clarification, enforcement, or emergency relief, we prepare, file, and argue formal requests on your behalf to move your case forward.
