Experienced Pensacola, Florida, Family Law Attorney

The law office of Caryn A. Van Matre, P.A., is a full-service family law practice that focuses on divorce-related matters. We're committed to helping clients with family law issues, such as separation agreements, child support, child custody and visitation orders, as well as adoption, dependency and grandparents' rights. Contact us for information about how we can help you.

Mediation Services

We support alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods, such as mediation and collaboration, which are mandatory in Florida as a first effort to resolve certain marital disputes. These methods are generally less expensive and faster than litigation. In mediation, the couple is more involved in the decision-making process and they have more control over the result. Mediation is often easier on the children involved.

However, we know that not all our clients find mediation to be a realistic choice, and we're always prepared to vigorously represent their best interests -- and those of their children -- in court.

Using Our Experience to Help People in All Family Law Issues

We've been helping couples resolve their separation issues successfully since 1993. We help people in all matters relating to family law, such as:

  • Child support
  • Custody and visitation issues
  • Equitable distribution of property
  • Stepparent adoptions
  • Grandparent adoptions
  • Third party adoptions
  • Out-of-state adoptions

We have experience with the adoption process. When there are complications such as a dependency action - where the state is attempting to remove a child from an abusive home - or where there is a necessity of establishing fatherhood through a paternity suit, we know what needs to be done, and how to do it.

Your Family's Future

The law office of Caryn A. Van Matre, P.A., helps clients deal with virtually every family law matter, including those that extend to a family's future. We're experienced in probate and intestacy proceedings, formulating living wills, and setting up guardianships.

At Caryn A. Van Matre, P.A., we keep our clients fully informed of the progress of their cases every step of the way. Contact us for an initial consultation about how we can help you.
