Pamela J. Fero
Compassionate Attorney Who Cares About Your Family
Pamela Fero moved to South Florida in 1991 when she was hired by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as an Air Traffic Control Specialist. She worked for the FAA as a controller for over 26 years and retired in 2016. Prior to moving to Florida, she lived in Ohio where she learned the value of hard work by working on the family farm.
Ms. Fero has one step-son, three adopted children, one foster child, and two biological children. The children are all unique individuals with their own strengths and weaknesses. Having such a large and diverse family naturally led Ms. Fero to an interest in Family Law and the issues that arise.
Ms. Fero has earned an Associates's Degree in Computer Programming and a Bachelor of Arts in Labor Education. Following graduation, Ms. Fero continued working for the FAA and took classes in arbitration advocacy.
Ms. Fero received her Juris Doctor from Florida International University College of Law in 2014. During her time in law school, Ms. Fero participated in two clinics, the Family and Education Clinic and the Health Law and Policy (HELP) Clinic where she enjoyed helping people with their legal issues. She also was a member of the FIU Law Review from 2012-2013, and an Articles and Comments Editor for the Law Review from 2013-2014.

- Q. How can I pursue a legal custody agreement and address co-parenting and domestic violence challenges safely?
- A: You do have options under Florida law to pursue legal custody, establish parental responsibility, and protect yourself and your child even with a past felony or the father’s veteran status. Although you're currently co-parenting informally with the child’s paternal grandmother and the father is not contributing financially, you can seek a formal custody arrangement by filing a Petition to Establish Parental Responsibility and Timesharing. This petition allows the court to define legal custody, create a parenting plan, assign timesharing schedules, and calculate child support based on income and actual involvement. Since there is no current custody order in place, you are legally allowed ... Read More
- Q. Seeking to dissolve a same-sex marriage from Florida, currently residing in Singapore with mutual agreement.
- A: Under Florida Statutes, at least one of you must reside in Florida for at least six months before filing for divorce in a Florida court. If one of you can return and reside in Florida for at least six months, you may then file for an uncontested divorce. If you are in mutual agreement, have no children, and shared property, you can file a Simplified Dissolution of Marriage, which is quicker and less complex. If going back to Florida is not possible, contact the Family Justice Courts of Singapore or consult a local family lawyer in Singapore to confirm whether they can process your foreign marriage dissolution.
- Q. What are my rights to retrieve belongings from in-laws' house in Florida?
- A: You can politely ask your wife's parents for permission to access the home and retrieve your belongings. It’s best to communicate respectfully and clearly explain your intent. This can be done through a direct conversation, a phone call, or through a written message (email or letter). If they agree, schedule a specific time to retrieve your items. This can help in avoiding misunderstandings or confrontations. It might be helpful if your wife is there to help you. Prepare a list of items you intend to retrieve and consider documenting the retrieval process with photos or videos to avoid any disputes about what you took. If you anticipate a conflict or if permission is denied, you can request ... Read More
