But it should have been initiated in FAMILY not Probate court. Terri Schindler was not a piece of property to be distributed in a will.

In many states, apparently including Florida, probate court is "family court". Probate judges handle wills and estates, but also the appointment of guardians for orphans, the legal changing of names, and other such personal legal matters. That is why, quite logically, the Florida legislature gave Florida probate courts jurisdiction over adjudging someone in a PVS - because probate courts handle other kinds of guardianships as well.

Does Florida handle questions surrounding divorce in probate court?

I well understand the supposed "logic" behind it, I am a paralegal.
