MGM Law, P.A.

Mary McDaniel and the family law team at MGM Law, P.A. take the time to understand your situation thoroughly — not just where you are now, but how you got here, and what your goals are for the future. We want to understand you as a person - not just the details of your case.

At your consultation with Mary, she will explain the collaborative process to you. Together, you can decide if that process is right for you. If not, she’ll be happy to guide you through other options. Collaborative law seeks to help families resolve disputes without resorting to litigation. The process allows separating spouses to modify child support or timesharing in a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect, rather than combatively.

Our team ensures that the collaborative process is both confidential and transparent. Each party is represented by an attorney trained in the collaborative divorce process. All negotiations are facilitated by a qualified mental health professional or a Florida Supreme Court certified mediator.

The collaborative process emphasizes personal privacy, which is often the first casualty of a traditional divorce. Nothing is filed in the court's docket until both parties have agreed to all language in the Marital Settlement Agreement.

Within this structure, the parties reach a mutual agreement through cooperation, rather than unnecessarily delaying the process with needless litigation. The collaborative process seeks to move both parties through the divorce or modification process faster than traditional litigation. This, in turn, saves both parties money, time, and emotional distress.
