Monique Pardo Pope (R) pushed to jail mother who complained about her guardian ad litem work
Monique Pardo Pope has repeatedly referenced her work as a guardian ad litem while campaigning for the Miami Beach Commission, citing it as proof of her steady temperament and inclination toward public service.
Pardo Pope’s practice includes family law, though Miami-Dade County Clerk records show about 92% of her cases center on collecting debts for banks.
Of three cases in which she was appointed as a guardian ad litem, she was discharged from one this year after she asked the court to jail a child’s mother over a series of disparaging emails the woman sent about her to political organizations, the Florida Bar and elected officials.
Pardo Pope, whose legal name is Monique K. Pope, was appointed guardian ad litem in September 2023 of a girl at the center of a paternity dispute that by then had dragged on for more than five years. A final hearing in the case is scheduled for February 2026, by which time she’ll have been removed from it for the better part of a year.
