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.

A basic comparison between collaborative divorce and litigation.
Do I Have To Prove That My Spouse Had An Affair To Get A Divorce?
Clients regularly ask their divorcing attorneys, "Do I have to prove that my spouse had an affair?" What most people don't realize is that adultery or marital indiscretion is not...
- 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.

- Q. I haven't lived with family in a year this month. Can they claim me on their taxes?

- Q. The court reserved jurisdiction on child support in Florida, after my exes motion to relocate was denied.
- A: If you had majority custody after her move and there was no ruling on child support after the custody change, your ex-wife would not have grounds to pursue back child support for this period because child support obligations would normally align with the custody arrangement. Consult with a lawyer if you could potentially file for retroactive child support from your ex-wife. Calculations for support payments would consider both parties' incomes and the number of overnights typically spent with each parent.
