Hastings Family Law

Dedicated Family Law Representation for Hastings Families

---

Hastings is a small agricultural town in western St. Johns County with a proud potato farming heritage that stretches back over a century. While the community has retained its rural character, the families who live here face the same difficult legal challenges that families face anywhere in Florida — divorce, custody battles, alimony disputes, and property division. The difference is that Hastings families have historically had fewer options when it comes to experienced legal representation. Christine Leonard is committed to changing that by providing the same aggressive, high-quality family law services to Hastings residents that she provides to clients throughout St. Johns County.

Located along the SR-207 corridor between St. Augustine and Palatka, Hastings is a tight-knit community where families have deep roots and where property often includes agricultural land, farm equipment, and generational assets that present unique challenges during divorce proceedings. Christine Leonard understands these complexities and brings the legal expertise necessary to protect her Hastings clients' interests in every case.

St. Johns County Courthouse — Seventh Judicial Circuit

All family law cases for Hastings residents are heard at the St. Johns County Courthouse, located at 4010 Lewis Speedway, St. Augustine, FL 32084, within Florida's Seventh Judicial Circuit. Christine Leonard appears regularly before the family law judges in St. Johns County and has extensive familiarity with local court procedures, judicial preferences, and the pace of litigation in this circuit. That courthouse knowledge gives her clients a strategic edge from the very first filing.

Unique Challenges of Family Law in Hastings

Hastings families face property division and custody challenges that reflect the community's agricultural roots and rural setting. Christine handles cases involving:

• Agricultural land, potato farms, and crop-producing acreage requiring specialized appraisal
• Farm equipment, irrigation systems, and agricultural business valuations
• Rural residential properties and homestead exemption considerations
• Timesharing and custody arrangements that account for the distance between Hastings and St. Augustine schools
• Generational family property and inherited land tracing
• Small business interests along SR-207 and in the Hastings area

She is available seven days a week from 9 AM to 7 PM because she knows that family law emergencies do not wait for business hours, and Hastings families deserve the same level of attention and dedication as any client in her practice.
