Biography

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.

Legal Answers
87 Questions Answered
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.
Q. Clarification Needed on Pension Judgment and Estate
A: You will likely need to file a claim against your ex-husband's estate in probate court to collect the remaining pension benefits. You can do this by contacting the Probate Court, submitting a claim within the statutory period allowed for creditors after the estate is opened, and providing documentation of the court judgment that entitles you to a portion of the pension. If you haven't already done so, notify the pension plan administrator of your ex-husband's death and your entitlement under the court judgment and/or QDRO. Examine the terms of the pension plan to understand the specifics about the survivorship benefits, if any. Some pensions have provisions that allow benefits to continue to a beneficiary or alternate payee even after the participant's death. Speak with an attorney experienced in family law and probate matters to help ensure you follow the correct legal procedures and maximize your chances of recovering the remaining pension benefits.
