Divorce Representation and Family Law Services in Palm Beach Gardens

Lewert Law is a Boca Raton divorce and family law firm representing clients throughout Palm Beach County, including Palm Beach Gardens and its communities from PGA National and BallenIsles to Mirasol, Evergrene, and Old Palm. Ms. Lewert handles each family law matter personally, and we keep the caseload small enough that she can. When your marriage, your children, and your financial future are on the table, you should know exactly who is doing the work.

Florida law calls divorce a dissolution of marriage, and Chapter 61 of the Florida Statutes sets the rules. Florida is a no-fault state: the court only needs to find that the marriage is irretrievably broken, so neither spouse has to prove wrongdoing. At least one spouse must have lived in Florida for the six months before filing, and the court cannot enter a final judgment until at least 20 days after the petition is filed. Marital property is divided under equitable distribution, which means fairly, though not always in an exact 50/50 split.

Palm Beach Gardens cases have a practical advantage: the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit’s North County Courthouse sits at 3188 PGA Boulevard, right in the city, and family division hearings for north county cases are held there. Some filings and matters still run through the Main Courthouse in downtown West Palm Beach, and we can confirm the correct venue for your case so nothing is filed in the wrong place.

Many Palm Beach Gardens divorces involve country club memberships, business interests, retirement accounts, and homes inside gated communities. Those assets raise valuation and distribution questions that a general practitioner may only see occasionally. This is the work Ms. Lewert does every day.

Why Hire Lewert Law Group for Your Palm Beach Gardens Divorce

Choosing your family law attorney is the first strategic decision of your divorce, and it deserves the same care as every decision that follows.

A Board Certified Family Law Firm, Not a Generalist

The Florida Bar awards Board Certification in Marital and Family Law to attorneys who demonstrate special knowledge, skill, and proficiency in this specific field. In addition to her years of experience, Tina L. Lewert has held certification since 2009, and only a small minority of Florida family lawyers earn it. That depth matters most when your case involves contested child custody arrangements, significant assets, or both.

Your Case Stays With Your Divorce Lawyer

Lewert Law keeps a deliberately small caseload. The attorney who hears your story at the consultation is the same attorney who builds your strategy, negotiates with the other side, and appears with you in court. You will not be handed off, and you will not have to re-explain your family law needs to someone new at the worst possible moment.

Settlement Strength and Trial Strength

As a Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Law Mediator, Ms. Lewert knows how Palm Beach Gardens family law settlements actually come together. Whenever it serves your best interests, she works to resolve your case through mediation and negotiation, which usually costs less and preserves more. When a fair resolution is not on offer, she litigates assertively and is fully prepared to try your case.

What to Expect in the Florida Divorce Process

  1. Confidential consultation. We start with a private conversation about your marriage, your children, your assets, and your goals. You will leave with a realistic view of the road ahead, and fees are discussed openly so you can make an informed decision.
  2. Filing and financial disclosure. One spouse files a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage with the Palm Beach County Clerk of the Circuit Court. Both spouses then exchange mandatory financial disclosures, including a financial affidavit, so income, assets, and debts are fully on the table.
  3. Negotiation and mediation. Most divorce cases settle before trial, and Palm Beach County courts generally require mediation before a contested case reaches a final hearing. We prepare for mediation the way we prepare for trial, because well-prepared clients settle from a position of strength.
  4. Resolution or trial. If you reach a full agreement, the court incorporates it into your final judgment. If contested issues remain, Ms. Lewert presents your case to the judge and advocates for your interests through trial.

Tina helped me win a relocation case against “the giant”. A case many insisted was a waste of time because I would never win. Tina is up to date on current statues and case law which lists out certain objectives a relocation must meet in order to be granted. I am amazed by her intelligence and ability to interpret law and break it down to me in an elementary manner. Throughout the case, she was always detail oriented, eloquent, ethical and most of all, Tina possesses a sixth sense of what facts to focus on, what is important for the case. She adequately prepared me and herself for each trial day. I can not say enough praise about this amazing lawyer, hopefully I’ll never need her again, but I wouldn’t complain if I do. Tina and her assistant Sharon treated me like family. They were the light during the worst part of my life. I don’t want to share too much about her strategies but this woman is AMAZING at cross examination. She came up with angles I would have never dreamed of. It’s important to trust Tina, she won’t steer you wrong. Don’t forget, while she fights hard for you, it is also important for you to be diligent as well.

I hired Tina Lewert to represent me in my contentious divorce. I had consulted with several other highly rated divorce lawyers in Boca and she just outshined the others from the moment we first spoke. Highly recommend this lawyer to handle your divorce - don't fall for the others who talk a big talk and try to scare you to stir up the drama which stirs up their fees too. Tina was always honest with me about what I could expect, about the law, and the pros and cons, and she explained the law and how it applied to my case better to me than 3 other [supposedly excellent] lawyers combined. She knows what she's doing but she's not pompous about it and she's easy to talk to. Her office and staff are also great and I never had a hard time reaching her. After a very difficult battle with my ex who was completely unreasonable, Tina was able to negotiate a settlement of my case and she did a fantastic job for me. My life is so much better after this divorce and Tina and her firm had a huge hand in that.

Ladies and gentlemen in the world of fighting legal battles you pay for what you get! If you’re looking to win ( if that’s actually possible in a legal battle) this is the firm you need to be with. I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with my attorney Tammara Grossman , since 2020, steering me through some real legal and monetary issues with my ex-wife. I have found her to be Professional and ethical, guiding me in the correct direction legally even when I didn’t always like it. The end result was about as best for me as you could possibly get. I’m happy.

Tina Lewert instilled in me that there are lawyers in family law that understand unique situations. I had horrible experiences with several lawyers and finding Ms. Lewert was nothing shy of a Godsend. She wholeheartedly understood my situation and was the only lawyer to resolve my 10 year nightmare. I cannot thank Ms. Lewert enough for the freedom she gave me and my son. She has proven to be the absolute best! I highly recommend Tina Lewert, Law for her expertise, honesty and commitment to her clients.

Tina is a wonderful attorney. She guided me through my ugly case and ultimately her wisdom lead me to successful settlement of my case. She wasn’t afraid to advise me of the pros AND cons of my case, and the legal system which can be brutal, and I always felt like she was being straight with me, instead of just telling me what I wanted to hear like another attorney I spoke with. Tina is quick on her feet and I could also tell that she is respected by judges and other attorneys (by the way everyone treated her when we did have to go to court to finalize the divorce once settled). If you need a strong, confident divorce lawyer who also happens to be a good person, hire Tina Lewert.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where will my Palm Beach Gardens divorce case be heard?

Divorce cases are filed with the Palm Beach County Clerk of the Circuit Court, and family division hearings for north county cases are generally held at the North County Courthouse, 3188 PGA Boulevard in Palm Beach Gardens. Certain filings and matters are handled at the Main Courthouse in West Palm Beach. We appear in Palm Beach County's family courts regularly and can confirm the correct venue for your case.

Does my spouse have to agree to the divorce?

No. For family law matters, the State of Florida is no-fault, meaning one spouse can obtain a divorce by showing the marriage is irretrievably broken, even if the other spouse objects. Your spouse's cooperation affects how quickly and smoothly the case moves, not whether it can move at all.

How long do I need to live in Florida before filing?

At least one spouse must have been a Florida resident for the six months immediately before filing, under Section 61.021 of the Florida Statutes. A Florida driver's license, voter registration, or witness testimony is the usual proof. Either spouse can satisfy the requirement.

How is property divided in a Florida divorce?

Florida applies equitable distribution under Section 61.075 of the Florida Statutes. Marital assets and debts are divided fairly based on factors like the length of the marriage and each spouse's contributions and circumstances, and fair does not always mean equal. Property owned before the marriage generally remains separate.

What if we already agree on everything?

An uncontested divorce, where both spouses agree on property, support, and parenting issues, is usually the fastest and least expensive path. Florida still requires a minimum of 20 days between filing and final judgment, but a well-prepared uncontested case can often be finalized shortly after that window closes.

Will I have to go to court?

Most Florida divorce cases settle without a trial, and Palm Beach County courts generally require mediation before contested issues reach a courtroom. Some court appearances may still be necessary along the way. If your case does require a trial and further litigation, Ms. Lewert is a certified family trial specialist and will be ready.
