⚖️ Legal Representation in Florida Family Law
Clear Guidance. Flexible Options. Fierce Advocacy.
At Family Matters Law Group, P.A., we know that no two family law cases — or clients — are the same.

We provide smart, strategic, and compassionate representation throughout Florida in the areas of divorce, custody, child support, modifications, enforcement, and more.

👶 Representation for Children
We believe children need strong, impartial voices when families are in conflict. We are often appointed by the court or retained privately to serve as a neutral professional on behalf of a child.
🔹 Guardian ad Litem (GAL)
A court-appointed advocate for the child's best interest, often in high-conflict or complex custody cases.
We investigate and report on:
-
The child's needs and circumstances
-
Parental capacity and concerns
-
Parenting plan recommendations
-
Safety, stability, and emotional well-being
GALs do not provide legal representation but make formal recommendations to the judge after thorough investigation and interviews.
🔹 Attorney ad Litem (AAL)
Unlike a GAL, an AAL represents the child's expressed wishes (not necessarily their best interests). We act as legal counsel for the child.
This is appropriate when:
-
The child is mature enough to express a preference
-
There is concern their voice may not be heard
-
Constitutional or procedural rights of the child need safeguarding
We help ensure that the child's desires are presented clearly and legally — even if they differ from what the adults want.
🔹 Parenting Coordination
We serve as a neutral third-party professional to help parents reduce conflict and make joint decisions in the child's best interest.
Parenting coordination helps:
-
Facilitate communication
-
Resolve day-to-day disputes (like schedule, travel, or rules)
-
Implement parenting plans
-
Reduce litigation and long-term animosity
We offer sliding-scale parenting coordination services, with rates ranging from $300 to $450/hour, based on combined household income.
