PlantationDivorce Attorney
Divorce counsel for Plantation clients dealing with shared property, support or an existing family-court order. GFC LAW serves you from its only office in Fort Lauderdale.
Start with where your matter stands.
Considering divorce, responding to filed papers and returning after a final judgment involve different questions. Tell us the stage of your matter so the consultation addresses the work you actually need.
Before filing or after service
Let intake know whether papers have been filed or served and whether a hearing or response deadline is approaching. Bring the questions that prompted your call.
Divorce counselThe property and debt picture
Consider mortgages, joint accounts, financing obligations and any existing agreement. Identify missing information instead of treating estimates as settled facts.
Property and debtSupport questions
Separate a new request for support from a problem with an existing order. Your income, expenses and current obligations are useful starting points.
AlimonyAfter the final judgment
Bring the operative order and explain the change or compliance issue. A consultation can help distinguish the legal work needed from the result you hope to achieve.
Post-judgment mattersHave the operative documents in mind.
- The case number and court, if a case already exists
- The current order or proposed agreement
- Any response deadline, upcoming hearing or disputed payment

Discuss the issues with Gary.
Bring your questions and a broad picture of your priorities. Ask intake what to prepare and how any requested documents should be provided securely.
Decide on representation.
If the firm can take your matter, discuss the scope of work, initial retainer and billing terms before engagement. Booking a consultation does not itself retain the firm to handle your case.

Plantation has a regional courthouse, but do not infer that it is the correct location for every family-law event. Use your court notice and assigned-division instructions to confirm where you must appear.
A few common questions.
What if I have already been served with divorce papers?
Tell intake when you received them and flag any stated response deadline or hearing date. Ask how to provide the papers securely. Requesting a consultation does not extend a court deadline or establish representation.
Is changing an order the same as enforcing it?
No. Asking to change future terms and addressing alleged failure to follow existing terms are different issues. Bring the current order and describe what has happened so the consultation can focus on the appropriate questions.
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.
