If you live in Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, or Boca Raton, one of your questions about your divorce or family law matter may involve the question of where you need to go to have a Judge decide an aspect of your case. As an initial matter, divorce and family law related cases are handled in the circuit court level of Florida’s state court system. Florida separates circuit courts into multiple “judicial circuits.” The population of Palm Beach County is large enough to have its own judicial circuit, the 15th Judicial Circuit, which is headquartered at the main county courthouse in West Palm Beach.
Divorce and Family law cases in Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Boca Raton and the surrounding areas are handled by Palm Beach County’s Unified Family Court. The Unified Family Court operates four primary branches, the North County Branch, South County Branch, West County Branch, and the Central (Main) Branch. All of the divorce and family law cases in Palm Beach County are initially split between the four branches based on the zip code of the residence of the person filing a case pursuant to Administrative Order NO. 5.101-4/10 (to view, click here and select the first link).
