Nassau County Family Law

Protecting Families Across Nassau County — From the Coast to the Country

---

Nassau County is a place of contrasts. On its eastern edge, Amelia Island draws visitors from around the world to its pristine beaches, Victorian-era downtown, and world-class resorts. Inland, Yulee has become one of the fastest-growing communities in all of Northeast Florida, with new neighborhoods, schools, and commercial developments reshaping what was once quiet timberland. Further west, Callahan and Hilliard retain the rural character that has defined Nassau County for generations. Through it all runs a deep connection to the water — the shrimping boats still dock at Fernandina Beach harbor, and families have worked these waters and this land for well over a century.

When those families face divorce, custody disputes, or other family law challenges, they need an attorney who understands what is at stake. Nassau County is not Jacksonville. The assets here are different — oceanfront parcels on Amelia Island, development tracts along the Yulee corridor, family homesteads that have been in the same hands for decades, commercial shrimping operations, and vacation rental properties along the A1A corridor. Christine Leonard handles these cases with the attention and ferocity they demand, because she knows that for the families of Nassau County, everything is on the line.

The Fourth Judicial Circuit — Nassau County Courthouse

All family law cases in Nassau County are heard within the Fourth Judicial Circuit at the Nassau County Courthouse, 76347 Veterans Way, Yulee, FL 32097. Christine Leonard regularly appears before the family division judges in this courthouse and understands the specific procedures, scheduling practices, and judicial preferences that can make or break a case in this circuit. The Fourth Circuit covers a wide area, but Nassau County has its own distinct character within the court system, and Christine has built the relationships and institutional knowledge necessary to navigate it effectively on your behalf.

Serving Every Community in Nassau County

Whether you live steps from the Atlantic or miles down a county road, Christine Leonard represents clients throughout every corner of Nassau County:

• Amelia Island — resort and plantation properties, oceanfront condominiums, and vacation rental portfolios requiring sophisticated valuation in equitable distribution
• Yulee — the county's explosive growth corridor along US-17, where rapidly appreciating new construction and development land complicate property division
• Callahan — established rural families with agricultural land, timber acreage, and generational homesteads
• Hilliard — families in the western reaches of the county near the Georgia border, where proximity to multiple jurisdictions can raise complex legal questions
