You built something real here. The home in BallenIsles or PGA National. The retirement accounts. The business. Maybe a membership you have held for years. And now you are facing a divorce, a custody dispute, or a support matter that could put all of it in front of a judge who does not know your situation. Before you move, you need clarity. Kalish & Jaggars, PLLC is a South Florida family law firm with its West Palm Beach office a short drive from the North County Courthouse on PGA Boulevard, where family law matters for Palm Beach Gardens residents are heard. Our attorneys appear there regularly.

Why Local Court Knowledge Matters for Palm Beach Gardens Cases
If your case goes to a hearing at the North County Courthouse on PGA Boulevard, you want attorneys who have already been in that room. The Family Division magistrates and judges there have their own procedural expectations: how temporary order hearings move, when they expect mediation to be scheduled, what they want to see in parenting plan submissions. Showing up prepared to those expectations matters. Our attorneys appear at this courthouse regularly, so when your case is called, the process is not a surprise to anyone on your side of the table.
Palm Beach Gardens divorce proceedings frequently involve asset structures that require more than a standard checklist. Golf community real estate, equity club memberships, retirement accounts, and closely held businesses all need to be correctly classified under Florida Statute 61.075 before equitable distribution can be calculated. That distinction, marital versus non-marital, drives the outcome. We explain exactly how that statute applies to your specific assets at the consultation, before any negotiation starts, so you understand your actual position.
