Helping families across Vancouver Island & all BC with separation, parenting, support & property. Iβm Matthew J. Van Den Hooven, a family and divorce lawyer based in Nanaimo, British Columbia. I own and operate the Law Office of Matthew J. Van Den Hooven, a boutique family law practice serving clients across Vancouver Island and throughout BC. My practice focuses exclusively on family law, includi
ng separation, divorce, parenting arrangements, guardianship, child support, spousal support, property division, family debt, separation agreements, cohabitation agreements, prenuptial agreements, protection orders, and family court matters. I work directly with my clients from start to finish. As a solo practitioner, I offer practical advice, clear communication, and strategic guidance tailored to each clientβs goals, urgency, and budget. My approach is child-centred, settlement-focused where possible, and court-ready when necessary. I offer flexible service options, including one-time consultations, unbundled pay-as-you-go legal services, and full representation in negotiations, mediation, Provincial Court, and the Supreme Court of British Columbia. My practice is remote-first, allowing clients across BC to access family law help by phone, video, email, and secure online tools. In-person meetings are available in Nanaimo by arrangement. Private-pay and Legal Aid BC family law clients are welcome. Website: vandenhooven.ca
