If you are dealing with a divorce, custody dispute, or property division matter in Boca Raton, you are probably also dealing with a level of financial complexity that most people only face once. Golf community real estate in Broken Sound or Boca West. Equity club memberships. Investment portfolios, business ownership interests, or retirement accounts built over years of two incomes. The question is not just what you are entitled to under Florida law. The question is whether you understand the framework well enough to protect it before negotiations begin. Kalish & Jaggars, PLLC serves Boca Raton clients from its West Palm Beach office. Our attorneys handle high-asset and complex family law matters across Palm Beach County, and the first step is a free consultation where we listen to your situation, explain what Florida’s equitable distribution statute actually says about your assets, and map out a clear path forward before you decide anything.
Our West Palm Beach office serves Boca Raton clients in person, with evening and weekend appointments available. Matters that do not require in-person attendance can be handled by phone or video. We are available 24/7. Call (561) 709-6488 any time.

The South County Courthouse and What It Means for Boca Raton Cases
Family law matters filed by Boca Raton residents are heard within the 15th Judicial Circuit at the South County Courthouse, 200 W. Atlantic Ave. in Delray Beach, about 15 miles north via I-95. That courthouse has its own Family Division, its own magistrates, and its own procedural rhythms. When your divorce or timesharing dispute reaches a hearing there, you want attorneys who already know how it moves. Our attorneys appear at the South County Courthouse and understand the Family Division’s expectations around temporary order hearings, mediation scheduling, and how contested property issues are presented. That preparation is not a formality. It is what a well-run case looks like from the inside.
If your Boca Raton divorce involves gated community real estate, equity club memberships, investment accounts, or a closely held business, the outcome will turn on how those assets are classified under Florida Statute 61.075. The distinction between marital and non-marital property, how contributions during the marriage are treated, and how business interests are valued can each significantly shift what equitable distribution looks like in your case. We explain exactly how that statute applies to what you own at the consultation, so you understand your actual position before any negotiation begins.
