About Us

Welcome to MGM Law

At MGM Law, P.A., we understand that divorce and family law matters are deeply personal and often overwhelming. The end of a marriage or changes in family structure can feel like everything is falling apart. But we believe these moments don’t have to define your future—they can also be a new beginning.

Since 2014, attorney Mary G. McDaniel has been guiding families in Pensacola and Northwest Florida through divorce, custody, child support, and protection matters. Our focus is on helping you move forward with less conflict, less stress, and more peace of mind.

We know that divorce is never easy, but it doesn’t have to be destructive. With the right legal support, you can navigate this season with dignity and strength.

Powerfully on your side.

Family law is about people—not just paperwork. That’s why we take the time to listen, understand your story, and build a legal strategy that fits your unique circumstances. Whether you are facing divorce, negotiating a parenting plan, or seeking child support, our team is here to help you make informed decisions and feel supported every step of the way.

As Mary often says:

“Be your best self, even in tough times.”

This philosophy guides everything we do. We believe that when you approach divorce with clarity and compassion, you protect not only your future—but also the well-being of your children and the relationships that matter most.

Frequently Asked Questions

01What is a parenting plan, and do I need one?

A parenting plan is a settlement agreement outlining how the parents will cooperatively parent their children. The plan includes a timesharing schedule, holiday timesharing schedule, provisions for extra-curricular activities, education, child care, contact between the parents, contact between the children and parents, and travel provisions and limitations.

02What cases do you handle?

Divorce, parenting/timesharing and child support.

03Do Florida courts favor mothers over fathers?

Florida Statutes do not favor one parent over the other based on gender.

04Can the court order supervised timesharing?

When necessary, a judge can order supervised timesharing or even no timesharing at all. Severe and untreated mental health disorders, drug addition, alcohol addiction, domestic violence or neglect can serve as cause for supervised or elimination of visitation.

05Can I change my child's last name?

A parent who wants to change a child’s last name must file a petition with the court and serve the other parent with the petition by service of process. If the other parent objects, then there will be a court hearing. The court will order a name change upon a showing that it is in the best interests of the child.
