Flagler County Family Law

Protecting Families in Flagler County's Growing Coastal Communities

---

Flagler County sits along the Atlantic coast between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach, and over the past two decades it has undergone a dramatic transformation. What was once a quiet stretch of pine flatwoods and beachfront has become one of the fastest-growing corridors in the state, fueled by the explosive expansion of Palm Coast and the steady flow of families relocating along the I-95 growth corridor. With a population now approaching 125,000, Flagler County is no longer a small community — and its family law disputes have grown in both volume and complexity.

Christine Leonard provides aggressive, hands-on family law representation to clients throughout Flagler County. Her office in nearby St. Augustine gives her direct access to the Seventh Judicial Circuit courthouses, and she has built deep familiarity with the judges, procedures, and local practices that shape family law outcomes in this region. Whether you are navigating a divorce involving canal-front property in Palm Coast, a custody dispute that crosses county lines, or a contested alimony case tied to a family business, Christine brings the preparation and tenacity your case demands.

The Seventh Judicial Circuit — Kim C. Hammond Justice Center

All family law cases in Flagler County are heard within the Seventh Judicial Circuit at the Kim C. Hammond Justice Center, located at 1769 E. Moody Blvd in Bunnell, the county seat. Flagler County shares this judicial circuit with St. Johns, Volusia, and Putnam counties, which means Christine Leonard appears before many of the same circuit judges across multiple courthouses. That breadth of experience translates into a real advantage for her clients — she understands how each judge approaches timesharing disputes, how motions are handled in this circuit, and what the local administrative orders require. This is the kind of knowledge that only comes from years of dedicated practice in these courtrooms.

Serving Every Community in Flagler County

Flagler County encompasses a diverse range of communities, each with its own character and the family law challenges that come with it. Christine represents clients across all of them:

• Palm Coast — the county's dominant city, originally planned by ITT Community Development Corporation in the 1970s as a master-planned retirement and residential community. Today Palm Coast is home to over 90,000 residents, an extensive saltwater canal system, and neighborhoods where property values have surged, making equitable distribution in divorce cases increasingly complex
• Flagler Beach — a laid-back coastal surf town with a character all its own, where beachfront and oceanside properties require careful valuation and waterfront homes complicate asset division
• Bunnell — the rural county seat and home to the Kim C. Hammond Justice Center, where established families and agricultural properties present unique considerations in divorce and custody matters
• Beverly Beach — a small oceanfront community where seasonal residences and vacation properties often factor into marital asset disputes
