Family Law

Compassionate Florida Family Law Attorney

The law office of Caryn A. Van Matre, P.A., is a full-service family law practice. We handle virtually every aspect of a divorce, including issues of child support, child support modification and child custody. Contact us to learn how we can help you.

The State of Florida requires mediation as the first choice for resolving a marital dispute, and we're experienced in alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods, such as mediation and collaboration. Mediation is generally less costly, quicker and less traumatic than litigation as a way to reach an equitable outcome. In mediation, the couple can participate in the decision-making process and they have more control over the result. It's also usually much easier on the children involved.

However, we know that mediation is not necessarily a realistic choice for all couples and that many couples who try to carry out a non-contested divorce do end up in court. If that turns out to be the case, attorney Caryn A. Van Matre is an experienced litigator who will fight aggressively for your rights.

At the family law practice of Caryn A. Van Matre, P.A., we deal with:

  • Non-contested and contested divorce
  • Equitable distribution of property (marital and non-marital)
  • Enforcement of prenuptial agreements
  • Custody orders
  • Child support
  • Child support modification
  • Child custody
  • Post-decree modifications
  • Adoptions (stepparent, grandparent, out of state)
  • Probate
  • Trusts and guardianships

We know that each person involved in divorce proceedings has unique needs and objectives. We strive to carefully assess your situation and determine the best way to protect your rights and those of any children involved. Contact us for family law representation that will ensure your best interests are served.
