PinecrestDivorce Attorney
Divorce and family-law counsel for Pinecrest residents. Discuss the family home, financial obligations and parenting arrangements with GFC LAW, based in Fort Lauderdale.
Connect the financial plan with family life.
Decisions about housing, expenses and parenting often affect one another. Identify the arrangements you want to preserve, the changes being considered and the information needed to assess them.
The home and its obligations
Consider ownership, financing, maintenance and whether a proposed arrangement is financially practical. A desired living arrangement needs a supporting financial picture.
Property divisionSchool days and shared decisions
Bring the children’s current routine and any concerns about education, healthcare or communication. Distinguish scheduling questions from decision-making responsibilities.
Parenting decisionsA workable support discussion
Identify income, ongoing household costs and child-related expenses. Let us know whether support is already governed by a court order or written agreement.

A proposed move may affect schooling, transportation and existing orders. Raise the timing and destination early so the appropriate questions can be considered.

Bring your questions and a broad picture of your priorities. Ask intake what to prepare and how any requested documents should be provided securely.

Pinecrest is a village in Miami-Dade County. GFC LAW has no office there; consultations are coordinated through Fort Lauderdale. Let intake know about any pending case before planning an appointment.
A few common questions.
What if we disagree about schooling or major decisions for the children?
Identify the specific decisions, the current arrangement and any existing order. Bring the relevant concerns to the consultation so decision-making responsibility can be discussed separately from the weekly parenting schedule.
Should I discuss a proposed move before finalizing plans?
Yes. Mention the proposed location, timing and any current parenting order when contacting intake. Ask for legal guidance before making commitments; a move may involve questions that an informal scheduling agreement does not resolve.
How much will representation cost?
The initial consultation is $200, waived for referrals. Representation is a separate engagement. The initial retainer and ongoing billing depend on the matter and will be discussed before you decide to hire the firm. A retainer is not a promise of the total cost of a divorce.
How long could my divorce take?
Timing depends on the issues, financial information, cooperation between the parties and the court schedule. We can discuss the factors affecting your situation at the consultation; there is no single timeline that fits every case.
Let’s discuss your next step.
Request a consultation with our Fort Lauderdale team. Please share only basic contact information until the firm confirms how to provide sensitive information securely.
