In collaborative divorce, you and your spouse are each represented by your own attorney and work together with a team of mental health professionals and attorneys to come to an agreement on all aspects of your divorce.

Mediation is an important part of the family legal services we offer at KWG Family and Legal Mediation Services. Our skilled attorneys represent clients during each mediation session, ensuring your interests are advocated for throughout the process. Courts may require parties to attempt mediation before proceeding to court, emphasizing the importance of resolving disputes outside of litigation.

Kwg Family Law specializes in the following areas of Law
Collaborative divorce is an alternative to traditional divorce and family law cases. It is an out-of-court process that participants (i.e. spouses, parents, husbands, wives, moms, and dads) choose to engage in to address family legal issues.
In Florida, divorce is allowed if a marriage is irretrievably broken or a spouse is incapacitated for 3+ years. Parents with children must complete courses, create a parenting plan, and follow court requirements before a final judgment.
Our firm can help with custody through collaboration, mediation, or litigation. We assist parents in creating effective parenting plans and time-sharing schedules that prioritize the children’s best interests.
Estate planning that focuses simply on Florida estate tax planning may miss one-half of a family’s needs. The other half is asset protection — protecting your hard earned savings and property.
A Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) is a specially appointed legal advocate for children and vulnerable individuals in family law matters. As a Certified Guardian Ad Litem, Kristen is appointed by judges to represent the best interests of children involved in Divorce.
Utilizing family mediation training, KWG family law helps the parties involved maneuver through the emotional highs and lows of family legal issues, including the development of parenting plans, time sharing schedules, and compliance with Florida law and Florida statutes.

Achievements
Mother Wins: Guardian Ad Litem Appointed for Child
KWG would like to congratulate Kristen Goss, Owner/Ceo of Kwg Family Legal & Mediation for advocating for her client, who desired that a Guardian Ad Litem be appointed to determine what’s in the best interest of the child. The primary role of the Guardian Ad Litem will be to investigate and gather information about the well being of the child, make recommendations to the Court based on the child’s best interest, and advocate for the child throughout the legal proceedings. In the end, the client is happy because the child’s voice will be heard and the child’s well being will be protected and advocated for.

KWG would like to congratulate its Associate Attorney, Aaron Humphrey, for being called the Tom Brady of the courtroom at a recent child support hearing wherein the father’s voice was finally heard in court and the outcome was a fair and equitable one for the father and the child.
