Due to the complexity of a martial settlement agreement, it is always advisable to hire an attorney to draft this document or to review it if prepared by another attorney. Once a Martial Settlement Agreement is executed by the parties, it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to set aside or withdraw. Moreover, if you are represented by an attorney in an uncontested divorce, some counties allow the parties to bypass the required attendance at a Final Hearing before the Court to finalize the divorce.
Child Support
The primary residential care parent cannot waive their right to collect child support, as child support is for the benefit of the child. A child support award is determined by the Florida Child Support Guidelines.
Child Custody and Visitation
Family law is a broad name for many different possible cases – from injunctions due to domestic violence, dissolutions of marriage, and child custody cases. At Draper Law Office, our Kissimmee family lawyers work with you to get through this difficult time by offering a level head and sound legal advice as you go through the process.
Paternity
While divorce occupies the bulk of our firm’s family law practice, we help individuals and families in a myriad of other ways, as well. We counsel and assist parties dealing with domestic violence injunctions, including sexual violence orders of protection, dating violence injunctions, and repeat violence injunctions. Finally, we provide practical advice and passionate advocacy in Florida paternity proceedings, essential for parents to enforce rights to custody and child support.
Premarital Agreement
Equitable Distribution refers to the division between spouses of tangible and intangible property, real property, assets and debts, and usually occurs in conjunction with the Dissolution of Marriage action. Equitable is not necessarily synonymous with equal in all cases. In Florida, it is first determined if either spouse has “non marital” property owned separately and not subject to division in the divorce. This separate property can include items or property listed in a premarital agreement, and any income from this property that has been kept separate, inheritance and even debt.
Spousal Support
Alimony is monetary support the one spouse pays to another to maintain the receiving spouse’s standard of living. Alimony is subdivided into several categories: lump sum, rehabilitative, and permanent periodic alimony. A party’s alimony award will terminate upon death of either party or upon remarriage of the receiving spouse.
Florida’s no-fault insurance laws prohibit lawsuits against negligent drivers unless the victim suffers a severe or permanent injury as defined in the law. In these unfortunate situations, we help injury victims and their families recover the full amount of compensation to cover their medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering by proving the at-fault driver’s negligence and liability to the people they harmed. Our comprehensive motor vehicle accident practice includes car, truck and motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents and pedestrian accidents. Our lawyers are skilled at holding drivers accountable for distracted driving car accidents and drunk driving crashes, and we further know the appropriate steps to help accident victims hit by an uninsured driver.
Wrongful Death
When another’s negligence results in the death of a loved one, the lives of the surviving spouse, children, parents and other family members can be thrown into turmoil. Dealing with an unexpected, sudden loss is both emotionally devastating and financially disruptive. We can help you understand the steps required under Florida’s wrongful death law to hold the responsible party accountable to you. We seek justice for your beloved family member, along with valuable compensation to help you with medical and funeral expenses, lost income, and deal with the many ways this loss will affect your family.
Traffic Violations
According to statistics from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, on average, around 8,000 pedestrians suffer injury every year, and around 700 pedestrians lose their lives in a pedestrian accident. Pedestrian injuries and deaths top 100 annually in Osceola County. Between speeding and drunk driving and the rising rate of distracted driving here and around the country, pedestrians in Kissimmee, Celebration, Davenport and St. Cloud face many dangers when all they are trying to do is walk down the sidewalk or cross the street safely.
Restraining Order
The domestic violence protection lawyers at Draper Law Office are dedicated to helping in a variety of family law cases, including working with injunctions and domestic violence cases. Injunctions are also known as restraining orders, or Orders of Protection. There are four types of civil injunctions that can be filed with the Clerk of Court: domestic violence, sexual violence, dating violence, and repeat violence. Each has different requirements based upon your relationship with the other person and what occurred.
Hit and Run
Comprehensive and collision coverage are other optional forms of insurance that can help pay for your property damage if the other driver is uninsured or can’t be found (as in a hit-and-run), and you don’t have UM coverage. Property damage claims are typically fairly straightforward, yet our office fields a lot of calls from frustrated policyholders who don’t feel the insurance company is adequately covering their property damage. Call Draper Law Office if you are having difficulty with a property damage claim after a car crash in Celebration, Florida. We’ll help you get your claim covered and also make sure you don’t have any personal injury as well.

Medical Malpractice
The statute of limitations is a rule that limits how long you have to file a lawsuit. For personal injury matters in Florida, you have four years from the date of the accident or injury. In wrongful death cases, you have two years from the date of death. The applicable statute of limitations can differ depending on special circumstances, such as the age of the victim (such as a minor child), the type of case (such as medical malpractice), the status of the defendant (such as a government employee or municipal property), and more. Factors such as these can put the statute of limitations on hold, or they can create a much shorter timeframe than the usual four years. It’s essential to bring your case early to a knowledgeable Florida personal injury attorney who can assess your claim and make sure any lawsuit that may be necessary is filed inside the applicable statute of limitations. The last thing you want is to miss out on recovering compensation because of a technical mistake or because you waited too long to talk to a lawyer.
Auto Accidents
Dog Bites
Dog bites are painful, traumatic experiences. They can be severe and even fatal or leave the victim with lasting physical and emotional scars and fear of other animals or public places. Dog owners in Florida are strictly liable for the harm caused by a bite or attack, regardless of whether the dog had ever bitten before or showed signs it might be dangerous. Even though strictly liable, dog owners still find ways to weasel out of paying victim’s claims, reducing the amount victims can recover or avoiding liability altogether. We know Florida dog bite law, and we take an aggressive approach to make sure you are treated fairly and get the compensation due to you. If you’ve been the victim of a dog bite in Davenport, call Draper Law Office for a free consultation.
