All family law matters for Belle Glade residents are heard within the 15th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida. Below is how your case routes:

The West County Courthouse Is in Belle Glade. Here Is What That Means.

The West County Courthouse at 2950 State Road 15 is the 15th Judicial Circuit venue for family law matters filed by Belle Glade residents. It sits on the east side of State Road 15, south of Hooker Highway, with free parking. This is where your divorce, timesharing hearing, child support proceeding, or paternity matter will be called. The Family Division magistrates assigned to this courthouse have their own expectations: how hearings are prepared, what mediation timelines look like, and what they need to see in contested submissions. Our attorneys appear at the West County Courthouse and arrive prepared to those expectations. That preparation is not a formality. It is what a well-run case looks like.

Whether your case involves child support for children in school here, a timesharing plan that accounts for agricultural work schedules, or a divorce where the family home is the primary asset, what you need first is a clear picture of what Florida law says about your situation before you walk into a courtroom or sign anything. Our free consultation is where that clarity starts. You talk, we listen, we explain the law in plain English, and you leave knowing exactly what your options are, before you commit to any representation or pay anything.
