Wellington is the most populous village in Florida, with 61,637 residents in the 2020 census, and it carries a distinctive identity as the Winter Equestrian Capital of the World. That identity matters for family law: Wellington has a significant number of households with substantial assets tied to equestrian businesses, real property, competition horses, and lifestyle infrastructure that requires careful treatment in divorce and equitable distribution proceedings. Kalish & Jaggars, PLLC approaches those matters with the financial and legal rigor they require. Our West Palm Beach office serves Wellington clients, and our attorneys are familiar with proceedings at both the Royal Palm Beach Branch Courthouse and the Main Courthouse.
Our West Palm Beach office serves Wellington clients in person. Evening and weekend appointments are available, and matters that do not require in-person attendance can be handled by phone or video. We are open 24/7 for initial inquiries. If you have a question that can’t wait, call (561) 709-6488.

Why Local Knowledge Matters in Palm Beach County Courts
Wellington’s affluent demographic and equestrian-driven economy mean that high-asset divorce proceedings here can involve unusual asset classes, show horses, equestrian facilities, equestrian-related businesses, and significant real estate holdings. Florida’s equitable distribution statute treats marital and non-marital assets in a structured way, and our attorneys explain exactly how that framework applies to Wellington clients’ specific situations before any strategy is decided.
