How Family Law Cases Move Through St. Johns County Courts

Family law cases in St. Johns County are heard in circuit court at the Richard O. Watson Judicial Center, as part of Florida’s Seventh Judicial Circuit. That is a different circuit from the counties to the north, with its own administrative orders, scheduling practices, and procedural expectations.

Families are sometimes surprised that a process they heard about from friends a county away works differently here. Our attorneys know how St. Johns County family cases are scheduled and what the court expects at each stage.
