Comprehensive Family Law Services in St. Petersburg
The St. Petersburg family law attorneys at Golden Key Law Group, PLLC represent clients across the full range of family law matters, from straightforward uncontested divorces to complex, high-asset disputes.
Divorce & Dissolution of Marriage
Ending a marriage requires resolving parenting arrangements, dividing property, and, in many cases, determining spousal support. Our family law attorneys guide Pinellas County clients through both contested and uncontested divorces, tailoring our approach to the complexity of the estate and the family involved.
Florida’s alimony laws determine whether one spouse may be entitled to financial support during or after a divorce, based on factors like the length of the marriage, each spouse’s earning capacity, and standard of living. Our family law attorneys advocate for a fair outcome whether you’re seeking support or responding to a request for it.
Custody, referred to under Florida law as timesharing and parental responsibility, is often the most emotionally challenging part of a family law case. We work to develop parenting plans that protect your relationship with your children while meeting the state’s best-interests standard.
Whether you’re seeking to establish, enforce, or contest a child support order, our attorneys understand Florida’s child support guidelines and how income, timesharing, and healthcare costs factor into the calculation.
Life changes. And sometimes your custody, support, or alimony order needs to change with it. A job loss, relocation, remarriage, or shift in a child’s needs can all justify revisiting an existing order. Our St. Petersburg family law attorneys help clients demonstrate the substantial change in circumstances Florida courts require.
Establishing legal paternity is often the first step toward securing custody, timesharing, or child support rights. We help unmarried parents navigate voluntary acknowledgments of paternity, DNA testing, and court petitions to formally establish a legal parent-child relationship, and we advocate for fathers seeking a meaningful, legally protected role in their children’s lives.
If you or a family member is facing domestic violence, stalking, or repeat harassment, Florida law allows you to petition for a protective injunction. Our family law attorneys in Pinellas County help clients pursue injunctions for protection quickly and effectively, and we also defend clients who have been wrongly accused in injunction proceedings, where the consequences for a career, custody case, or reputation can be significant.
Choosing the right Pinellas County family law attorney matters, especially in family law, where the outcome shapes your daily life for years to come. Here’s what sets our firm apart:

Your Key to Legal Success Through Client Trust and Results
Rita, Charis, and the entire Golden Key Law Group staff are excellent. They made my parents feel special and welcome during our estate planning. I wish I could give multiple 5-star reviews to Golden Key Law Group but take it from me; they are top-notch. I want to thank Rita and Charis personally for treating my family and me so well during this challenging process. Thank you!
– Derek Corneau
Rita has been hands down the best lawyer I’ve ever seen. I love it how she actually cares and I wasn’t just a number. The rest of the staff and Dennis are just amazing.
– Donnie
Thank you! Charis Campbell has taken care of two family law cases for two separate friends, that I have referred. She was kind, she explained to them honestly the best plan of action, and responsive to their needs. The families have been so happy. It is great to see out of a difficult situation, a positive outcome for all involved.

Experts! Attorney Rita, with Golden Key Law Group and staff, handle my family case with care and expertise.
– Shyla Sams
I will certainly recommend them to anyone. I had the unfortunate occasion to need an attorney on very short notice. I contacted charis of Golden Key Law a Group and explained I was 3000 miles away and I needed an attorney prepared and in court in less than 2 business days. They quoted me a flat rate fair price. Took my case and not only appeared but they won and got it dismissed. I will certainly recommend them to anyone.
Look for a family law attorney who focuses on family law, understands the local courts, and communicates clearly about your options and likely outcomes.
Costs vary based on the complexity of the case, whether it’s contested, and the attorney’s fee structure (hourly vs. flat fee). Many family law attorneys, including our firm, offer a consultation to discuss your case and provide a clearer estimate upfront.
