child custody: strong representation &
advocacy backed by experience

When our children are involved in a divorce issue, the stakes are high. Matters of child custody are vital: the outcome can determine not only where the child lives, but where the child attends school, their extracurricular activities, and decisions regarding the child's health. Child custody is important, but laws can be frustrating and complex to navigate on our own.

Trust in skilled advocacy and strong representation to provide direction. For almost 30 years, my firm—Garth R Goodman, PA—has offered dedicated counsel to individuals in Largo, Seminole, Gulfport, Kenneth City, and the rest of Florida from my office in St. Petersburg. With so much on the line, don't hesitate to reach out. Turn to legal advocacy backed by years of mediation and trial experience gained from tireless advocacy for Florida families.

I've learned, after helping countless individuals and families, that the truth is never so black and white. The primary consideration is what's best for you and your family. Going through a divorce or a child custody dispute is never easy—in fact, it may be the toughest challenge you'll ever face. You can fight for a favorable result, one that helps you move forward with confidence and peace of mind. And I can help you do it.
