Kaplan, Kenneth, JD

Divorce
Child Support
When a mother is married at the time that they give birth, the law presumes that the mother's husband is the child's father. If the mother is not married, paternity needs to be established through court order or voluntarily by the father. When there is an agreement between the mother and the father, they can sign a voluntary acknowledgement of paternity form. However, when acknowledgement is not voluntary, one of the parties or the Florida Department of Child Support Services needs to start the court process. Consult an Experienced Miami Family Law Attorney
Child Custody and Visitation
Child Custody - Which State Has Jurisdiction Over a Custody Matter When the Parents Live in Two Different States?
Adoption
The easiest and simplest way to adopt a child is called a step parent adoption. In order to adopt your step child you will need the consent of your spouse and the consent of the biological parent. If the biological parent is absent or unknown, then it is necessary to conduct a diligent search and inquiry to find the natural parent and to file a notice of publication in a legal publication, putting the parent on notice of the intention to adopt your step child.
Paternity
Fathers can also file paternity suits to establish and enforce their rights to children, Many times, a mother will and can deny a father his parental rights to timesharing with a minor child and shared parental responsibilities. When no adjudication of Paternity exists, the Natural Mother is the only parent with rights over the minor child. She has the ability to either allow or disallow a relationship with the non-adjudicated father. This makes it important for fathers to enforce their rights through a complaint to determine Paternity.
Premarital Agreement
Sometimes one or both spouses disagree with how a trial court handled some aspect of a divorce. The first step in starting an appeal is to submit a Notice of Appeal to the District Court of Appeal. When there is no automatic right to an appeal, a spouse will need to submit a petition for review. Some of the grounds for an appeal in Florida family law cases include fraud, concealment of assets, an abuse of discretion, a legal error, or the discovery of new facts. Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
Guardianship
A guardian is a surrogate decision maker who can make financial and personal decisions for another person. Florida law allows both voluntary and involuntary guardianships. Voluntary guardianships can be established for an adult who is incapable of managing their estate or other affairs and voluntarily petitions for a guardian. Guardians must be appointed for minors if their parents become incapacitated or die, or if a child inherits a certain amount of money or wins a certain amount of money in a lawsuit. Paternity
Spousal Support
In Florida, you can get a divorce if you can establish that your marriage is irretrievably broken. There are no "fault" grounds by which you can dissolve your marriage, which instead must be irretrievably broken. However, the reason why the marriage broke down can be considered in some situations when determining property distribution, a parenting plan, and alimony. Either party needs to show that one spouse has been a Florida resident for the six months immediately before the divorce was filed. A Miami family law lawyer can make sure that the procedures for your divorce are properly followed so that it unfolds as smoothly as possible. Adoption
Child Abuse
The Juvenile process commence with someone making a call to the Child Abuse hotline in the State of Florida and at that time an investigation is opened to determine whether the minor children have been abandoned, abused, or neglected… A protective Services Investigator is sent to investigate the situation and whether or not a removal is necessary and also whether a case should be filed.

Misdemeanors
There is an epidemic of violence in our society, and men against women perpetrate the majority of the violence. In the State of Florida, Domestic Violence can be both Criminal and Civil in nature. Domestic Battery and Assault is a misdemeanor and because it is a crime requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt. In Family Law Matters, a preponderance of the evidence is necessary which is a much lower burden of proof.
Assault
Restraining Order
In order to obtain a Restraining Order and ultimately a Permanent Injunction against Domestic Violence, it is necessary to show two acts of violence within a six-month period of time. The two acts of violence can occur on the same day and can involve both a threat of violence and an act of violence.

KAPLAN, through his practice has been required to prepare numerous types of contracts, as follows: Pre-Nuptial and Post-Nuptial Agreements, Power of Attorney and Legal Guardianship Agreements, Marital Settlement Agreement, Living Wills, Wills, Timesharing and Parenting Plans, Surrogate Contracts and In Vitro Fertilization Sperm Donor Contracts, Egg Donor Contracts, and Mediation Agreements.
Power of Attorney
It is also necessary for the attorney who is appointed to determine whether any Pre-need or advanced directives were filed by the ward when he or she had capacity. These include a decision made previously to appoint a health care surrogate, power of attorney, and wills. These documents can be used to demonstrate the wishes of the ward before they were determined to be incapacitated.
