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 over 25 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.

Going through a divorce or a child custody dispute is never easy—in fact, it may be the toughest challenge you'll ever face.
