Seventeenth Judicial Circuit of FloridaBroward County.

Weston divorce and family law cases sit in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit of Florida (Broward County). Weston timesharing, decision-making, school-choice, and relocation disputes are routine here, and the Broward courthouse calendar moves quickly enough that an independent written read before mediation or a hearing date often changes how the next move gets sequenced.
