How Family Law Cases Move Through Duval County Courts

Family law cases in Duval County are heard in circuit court at the Duval County Courthouse, as part of Florida’s Fourth Judicial Circuit. Florida’s family law statutes apply statewide, but each circuit sets its own administrative orders, scheduling practices, and procedural expectations.

Our attorneys work in these courtrooms regularly, so we know how cases are scheduled, what judges expect before a hearing, and how to keep a case moving.
