Where Southwest Ranches family law cases are heard
Southwest Ranches sits in Broward County, which is part of Florida's 17th Judicial Circuit.

Knowing the right court from the start avoids filing mistakes and delays.
How Florida family law works
Florida courts decide custody and timesharing based on the best interests of the child (§61.13) and favor shared parental responsibility. Child support is calculated using the income shares model in §61.30. Property is divided through equitable distribution — fair, though not always 50/50. Most contested cases go through mediation before any trial.
Family matters are hard enough without a language barrier. We serve Southwest Ranches residents fully in English or Spanish, so there's never any confusion about your rights, your children, or your future.
