Excellent4.6★★★★☆ Based on 16 reviews from review us onCraig C.Craig C. ★★★★★ I reached out to PFL for a legal name change, and Kathryn Collier represented me. She was absolutely amazing in seeing that my name change was done right, and not only that she saw to it that I got it done within a certain time line, due to getting married soon, and needing everything processed and done, in order to have all I need for a marriage license. Her team is the absolute best including Shana, and Debbie being there for me anytime I had a question about the process.

Florida Divorce, Paternity, and Family Law Attorney

Contested Divorce

A divorce attorney will prepare you for the road ahead after being served with a petition for dissolution of marriage.  A divorce lawyer will work towards getting you a fair result, whether the focus of the dispute is on the parenting plan, alimony, dividing assets, child support, holidays, or any other issue that may come up during a divorce.

A divorce lawyer will work to ensure you have the divorce information and family law resources needed to understand the divorce process.  Your divorce lawyer will help you know what to expect before making the decision to file for divorce. A contested divorce can be a long process, and preparation is key in minimizing the length of your case and keeping costs down. Discuss your contested divorce case with a Florida divorce attorney to help determine the best course of action in your contested divorce case.Learn More

Paternity and Visitation Rights

A paternity lawyer can assist fathers if the mother will not allow the father to have visitation or time-sharing with their son or daughter.  Many people today choose not to get married, but still have minor children together.  A paternity lawyer can help fathers understand father’s rights in Florida and ensure the father is allowed appropriate visitation with their child. Alternatively, a paternity lawyer can help defend mother’s rights in situations where an unmarried father is attempting to re-enter a child’s life after a long period of absence or when the child may be unsafe in the father’s custody.

If a father is unsure if the child is his biological son/daughter, a paternity lawyer can assist in getting a court ordered paternity test.  Once paternity is established, a paternity lawyer will help establish a custody arrangement that works for you and your ex as well as calculating child-support obligations and determining if retroactive child-support should be awarded.Learn More

Alimony and Child Support

A divorce lawyer will help with disputes regarding alimony or child support.  Alimony in Florida can be difficult to determine. Some spouses are self-employed and may attempt to hide assets or show less income than they really earn.  A Florida alimony lawyer will help ensure that income and assets are properly calculated and only the proper deductions are taken when calculating child support or alimony in Florida.

If you are owed unpaid alimony/spousal support or back child support, a divorce lawyer will help you understand your rights and assist with child support enforcement to help you get the support you need.  This may mean attaching a judgment to existing assets or garnishing the wages of your ex-husband/wife until alimony or child support arrearages have been paid in full.Learn More

Uncontested divorce

Uncontested Divorce

Pinellas Family Lawyer helps families navigate uncontested divorce in Florida. A contested divorce can be lengthy, stressful, and contentious. The uncontested divorce process allows spouses to legally separate without the headache of having a formal trial in front of a judge. Spouses may not have any liabilities, assets, or children and just need help getting their uncontested divorce paperwork filed. Other times a husband or wife may choose to attempt settlement at mediation before filing for an uncontested divorce. Pinellas Family Lawyer can assist with uncontested divorce paperwork and offers representation throughout the uncontested divorce process including mediation, filing, and drafting your final divorce decree.Learn More

Child Custody Disputes

A family law attorney will help resolve time-sharing, schooling, and other disputes regarding children of divorced or unmarried parents.

If parents are unmarried, a paternity action may be necessary to establish the father’s legal rights.  Other times issues arise that may not have been contemplated at the time the initial divorce was filed.  Sometimes couples that have been divorced for years disagree when one parent unilaterally withholds time-sharing, decides to relocate, or changes schools.  When disputes arise between unmarried parents or after a divorce is final, a family law attorney will assist with creating, modifying, or enforcing parenting plans as well representing their client in other family law issues.Learn More

Additional Practice Areas

An attorney can assist you whether defending a claim brought by a customer against your company or bringing a claim against a company you feel has violated the law.  Pinellas Family Lawyer provides representation for small local businesses or individuals as well as larger corporations or partnerships.
