The Caveda Law Firm, P.A., based in Tampa, Florida, focuses on family law matters including divorce, child custody, child support, equitable distribution, alimony, paternity, parental relocation, and prenuptial agreements. Many of these areas involve strong emotions or traumatic experiences. Individuals considering family law actions often do not know their legal rights or obligations, which makes consulting a lawyer an absolute necessity.

For almost 20 years, the Caveda Law Firm, P.A., has been helping residents of Tampa, Tampa Bay and Hillsborough County resolve their differences in less contentious ways – through mediation.

We will either represent you at mediation or prepare you for mediation. Our founder, David Caveda, is a six-year Supreme Court Certified Family Law Mediator and thus, is very familiar with families in mediation settings. He also holds membership in the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals as well as the Family Law Sections of the Hillsborough County Bar Association, the American Bar Association, and the Florida Bar.

With its timeliness and cost-effectiveness, mediation is the logical choice for individuals who are looking to settle all or some their issues out of court. The agreements that come out of mediation are often easier to enforce because they were mutually agreed upon. If you have questions about mediation, the Caveda Law Firm, P.A., has answers. Let us analyze your situation and help you make the best decisions possible.

We assist clients in the following areas of family law:

• Collaborative Divorce. In a collaborative divorce, the parties and their attorneys agree to work together in a non-adversarial relationship.
• Contested Divorce. When both partners cannot come to a mutual decision on things such as property and child custody, the divorce is considered contested.
• Uncontested Divorce. In an uncontested divorce, both parties agree on issues affecting both of them.
• Military Divorce. Military divorce can be more difficult than normal divorce due to the different laws that apply to service members and their assets.
• Mediation. In mediation proceedings, a neutral third party helps negotiate a settlement between the two parties who are looking to obtain a divorce.
• Child Custody. Physical custody, visitation and legal custody are considered in this area of family law.
• Paternity. Legal paternity is presumed only in cases where the mother is married when the child is born. In other cases, a paternity test may be required.
• Alimony. Alimony refers to the money payments made from one spouse to another following a divorce. Either a husband or a wife can be required to pay alimony.
• Equitable Distribution. Florida law calls for an equitable distribution of marital property and marital debts. This means that property acquired during the course of the marriage by one or both parties should be divided fairly or equitably.
• Parental Relocation. The state of Florida has enacted a relocation statute, which outlines very specific procedures that must be followed when a parent is looking to relocate the child more than 50 miles away.
