Since 1993, lawyer Caryn Van Matre's legal practice has centered on family matters, guiding clients through transitions such as paternity, adoption, divorce, dependency or other family matters with skill and respect.
Dads Who Step Up to the Plate
We help men obtain DNA testing to determine whether they have fathered a child. Biological fathers are obliged by the state to pay child support and increasingly want a relationship with their biological son or daughter.
Men in particular need to understand know their rights with regard to paternity matters. They often believe erroneously that they have no rights. Knowledge of the law in this instance can enforce a father's rights allow him to co-parent through a child custody plan sensitive to the child's needs.
Father Registry
Many people are surprised to learn there is a father's registry, on which you can list yourself if you believe you may have fathered a child. Listing on this registry can help protect your rights as a biological parent should the mother decide to give the baby up for adoption.
Moms Who Seek Support
Mothers want to make sure that their child's biological father takes financial responsibility for parenting a child. We are experienced in arranging DNA testing and establishing and enforcing child support. Often, mother and father are unmarried and the mother wants to make sure that her baby is safe and is concerned about a father's lack of parenting experience. We can help establish a parenting plan that allows a father to integrate into a family in stages that the mother is comfortable with.
