Collaborative Family Law Professionals of South Florida

What Collaborative Family Law Professionals of South Florida does

Collaborative Family Law Professionals of South Florida, Inc. is a nonprofit Florida corporation founded in 2020 and headquartered at the Broward County Bar Association building in Fort Lauderdale. It operates as a regional professional membership association for family law attorneys, mental health professionals (divorce coaches, facilitators, child specialists), and financial professionals (CPAs, financial advisors) trained in collaborative practice, a non-adversarial alternative to divorce litigation. The organization does not deliver legal services itself; instead, it curates a public searchable directory, hosts monthly breakfasts and quarterly luncheons, runs discipline-specific mentorship groups, and curates blog, FAQ, and video educational content. Membership tiers include Regular ($285/year), Affiliate ($285/year), Discounted Fee Member ($160/year through January 1, 2027), and Student ($160 renewing at $285 in 2027). Local membership automatically includes affiliation with the Florida Academy of Collaborative Professionals (FACP).

The organization runs a Collaborative Pro Bono Project established in 2019 by former president Nancy Brodzki with Family Division case management and Judge Andrea Ruth Gundersen. Through a core alliance with Nova Southeastern University's Department of Family Therapy, Legal Aid Service of Broward County / MISSION UNITED, and Dr. Randy Heller's The Family Network, the project delivers pro bono collaborative divorce services to low and modest income veteran families, addressing military-specific issues such as PTSD, TBI, military retirement, and V.A. benefit division. An IACP grant of $3,000 and training-event proceeds totaling $2,000 supported the program, which has completed at least two pilot cases.

Revenue mechanics are simple: annual membership dues and non-refundable application fees, supplemented by grants and training-event proceeds earmarked for the pro bono project. Headcount is three paid staff — Executive Director Braulio Rosa, Administrative Assistant & Bookkeeper Debbie Rivero, and Membership Coordinator Patricia R. Hernandez — supported by an 8-member volunteer Board of Directors led by President Tammy Berman. The organization does not develop proprietary technology; the website, member directory, and Constant Contact mailing list are standard off-the-shelf tools, and member professionals set their own client fees independently. Distribution relies on the online directory, monthly events, blog/video content, and member-to-member referrals, all anchored within the South Florida market (Broward County, Miami-Dade, and South Palm Beach County).
