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.

Paternity and Visitation Rights

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

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
