Compassionate Family Advocacy and Dedicated Legal Counsel in Cape Coral, Florida
Located at 1505 Southeast 40th Street, Suite A in Cape Coral, Florida, Family First Legal Group helps parents and spouses navigate difficult life transitions. Founded in 2012 by attorney Alexander Peterson, the practice has grown into one of Southwest Florida's premier family law firms.

The Cape Coral legal team offers clear communication, strategic counsel, and compassionate advocacy from initial consultation through case resolution.
Comprehensive Divorce Litigation and Marital Asset Division
Dissolving a marriage involves intricate financial decisions and significant emotional challenges. Family First Legal Group represents clients in contested and uncontested divorce proceedings throughout Cape Coral and Fort Myers. Under Florida equitable distribution statutes, marital assets and liabilities-including waterfront residences, retirement plans, and family businesses-must be divided fairly. The firm's attorneys collaborate with financial professionals to trace assets, address alimony claims, and structure stable agreements. For spouses who need a lawyer urgently to protect their financial interests, the firm provides aggressive courtroom representation.
Child Custody, Parenting Plans, and Timesharing Solutions
Protecting the well-being of children remains the highest priority in any family law proceeding. In Florida, traditional child custody is governed by detailed parenting plans and timesharing schedules. The attorneys at Family First Legal Group work diligently to negotiate balanced timesharing arrangements that keep both parents actively involved in their children's lives. When high-conflict custody disputes emerge involving parental alienation or relocation petitions, the firm presents compelling testimony and evidence before Lee County family court judges. The firm also handles precise child support calculations, paternity establishment, and post-judgment custody modifications when family circumstances change substantially.
Marital Agreements, Stepparent Adoption, and Domestic Injunctions
Beyond divorce and custody litigation, Family First Legal Group assists clients with a comprehensive array of domestic relations matters. The firm prepares legally sound prenuptial and postnuptial agreements designed to protect business assets and separate property. The attorneys also guide growing families through stepparent adoption proceedings, completing legal filings with care. When safety is threatened, the firm moves swiftly to secure domestic violence injunctions. Spouses seeking to hire an attorney who prioritizes long-term family stability benefit from the firm's structured, compassionate approach.
