You Should Be Able to Have a Good Life After Divorce.
Divorce can put pressure on three of the things that matter most: your wealth, your income, and your time with your children.
At Fairway Law Group, we help Florida clients understand what is at stake, build a clear strategy, and make informed decisions about what comes next.

-PRESERVING WHAT MATTERS
Divorce Can Affect More Than Your Marriage
When a marriage ends, the decisions made during the divorce can affect your finances, your family, and your life for years afterward.
You may be asking:
What happens to the house and everything we have built?
Will I have to pay — or will I receive — alimony?
How will our time with the children be divided?
What happens to retirement accounts, investments, businesses, or debt?
How do I move forward without letting this process consume my life?
You do not need to have every answer before speaking with us.
You need to understand your options.
-Take the Next Step
The Three Areas We Want You Thinking About
Your Finances
A divorce may involve dividing homes, savings, retirement accounts, investments, businesses, vehicles, debts, and other marital property.
Understanding what is actually on the table is the first step toward making sound decisions.
Your Income
Alimony, child support, household expenses, taxes, and the cost of maintaining two separate households can change your financial picture considerably.
We help you understand the issues that may affect your income and expenses after divorce.
Your Children
For parents, divorce is also about maintaining a meaningful relationship with their children.
Parenting plans and time-sharing arrangements can shape everyday life long after the divorce itself is finished.
Your Divorce Does Not Have to Become a War
Not every case needs unnecessary conflict.
The goal is to understand what matters, identify the issues that need to be resolved, and develop a strategy for resolving them.
Sometimes that means negotiation.
Sometimes it means mediation.
And when an issue cannot be resolved by agreement, it may require the court to decide.
The right approach depends on your circumstances.
-LEADERSHIP & EXPERT PREPARATION
Built by litigators. Focused on families.
Fairway Law Group was founded by Florida attorneys, Brian Dunmire and Matthew Waring. Before founding the firm, both Matthew and Brian spent over a decade handling high-stakes civil litigation. Matthew and Brian have been trusted by Fortune 500 companies to defend them against high-value lawsuits.
That background shaped Fairway Law Group’s approach to divorce: analyze the important facts early, communicate plainly, prepare carefully, and remain focused on the issues that can materially affect the client’s future. The firm was built to combine the resources of a larger legal team with the accountability and personal attention people expect when dealing with decisions about their children, finances, property, and future.

Common questions about divorce representation in Florida
Do I need a lawyer for my divorce?
Legal representation becomes particularly important when a divorce involves children, a home, retirement accounts, significant debt, financial support, a business, unequal access to financial information, or disagreement between the spouses. An attorney can help you understand the issues, identify risks, evaluate proposed agreements, and prepare for court when disputes cannot be resolved.
Can my divorce be resolved without going to trial?
Many divorce cases are resolved through negotiation, mediation, or an agreement between the spouses. No responsible attorney can promise at the beginning that every issue will settle.
Our approach is to pursue a practical agreement when the terms are informed and workable while preparing the case so that you are not dependent on the other party being reasonable.
What issues can be addressed in a Florida divorce?
Depending on the family’s circumstances, a divorce may involve parenting arrangements, child support, financial support between spouses, a family home, retirement funds, bank accounts, investments, businesses, vehicles, personal property, insurance, and debt.
The legal issues are connected. A decision about one asset, expense, or parenting arrangement may affect other parts of the case.
What if my spouse has already filed for divorce?
Court documents may contain deadlines and hearing dates. Arrange a consultation promptly and have every document you received available for review.
Do not assume that waiting will make the case pause or that the other spouse’s proposal is the only available option.
Should I speak with a lawyer before telling my spouse I want a divorce?
A consultation before that conversation may help you understand financial, parenting, housing, and procedural considerations. This can be particularly valuable when access to money is unequal, conflict is likely, or you are unsure what information you should gather.
How much does divorce representation cost?
The cost depends on the complexity of the finances, the number of disputed issues, the conduct of both parties, the amount of information that must be obtained, and whether court hearings or trial are required.
Fairway Law Group provides paid, full-service representation. An initial retainer is generally required before representation begins. The fee arrangement and initial requirements will be explained before you decide whether to hire the firm.
There is no charge for the initial consultation.
Does Fairway Law Group represent clients throughout Florida?
Yes. Fairway Law Group represents divorce and family-law clients throughout Florida, subject to attorney availability, potential conflicts, and the needs of the individual case.
The firm has offices in Orlando and Deerfield Beach and uses telephone, video, and electronic communication to work with clients across the state.
Who will work on my case?
Fairway Law Group uses a team-supported model. Depending on the needs of the case, work may involve an attorney, paralegal, legal assistant, and other members of the firm.
The purpose is to provide organized support and ensure that different parts of the case are handled by the appropriate team members.
What happens during the initial consultation?
We will ask about your family, finances, current legal situation, major concerns, and any approaching deadlines. We will discuss the issues that appear important, the type of representation you may need, and whether Fairway Law Group may be the right fit.
The consultation is not a promise of representation. The firm must complete a conflict check and both sides must sign a written agreement before an attorney-client relationship begins.
What should I have available for the consultation?
Bring or have access to any court papers you have received, current orders, agreements, hearing notices, and a basic understanding of your income, property, debt, and parenting situation.
Do not delay requesting a consultation merely because you have not gathered every document.
