Divorce
In situations where both parties agree to all conditions and terms of a divorce, they may proceed with an action that is considered to be an uncontested divorce. However, if either party disagrees on one or more of these terms, then the matter becomes a contested divorce. In such an event, because of the multitude of issues that may arise in a contested divorce, are required to be addressed and may have long-term effects on either or both of the parties, it is essential that you seek experienced legal representation.

Divorce
In situations where both parties agree to all conditions and terms of a divorce, they may proceed with an action that is considered to be an uncontested divorce. However, if either party disagrees on one or more of these terms, then the matter becomes a contested divorce. In such an event, because of the multitude of issues that may arise in a contested divorce, are required to be addressed and may have long-term effects on either or both of the parties, it is essential that you seek experienced legal representation.
Child Support
Many times a child is born to parents who are not married and the father signs the child’s birth certificate or, in the absence of the father, the mother will place the father’s name on the child’s birth certificate. While these acts may establish the father’s obligation to pay child support for the child, it does not establish any rights for the father as to custody or visitation, access to school and medical records or the right for the father to have a say in the child’s upbringing.
Child Custody and Visitation
Whether a child is born to a married couple or two people who have not taken that formal step, we look out for our client’s best interests. Support matters and time spent with your children can become complicated legal issues and contentious personal matters. At our firm, the children come first. Their emotional and financial needs must be met regardless of how their parents feel about each other. Contact our experienced Jacksonville child custody lawyers for more information or assistance.
Adoption
The adoption of a child is one on the most rewarding acts one can do. It is also complex and full of legal landmines that can turn a joyous and fulfilling experience into heartbreak and tragedy. If you are considering adopting a child into your family, you must have experienced adoption law firm to represent you in this process.
Paternity
The registration application must be made within 10 days of filing a petition for dissolution of marriage or petition for determination of paternity. In order to enroll, you must have your case number, so please contact your attorney’s office after the petition has been filed to obtain your case number if you do not already have it.
Premarital Agreement
Prenuptial Agreements are most commonly employed when one of the parties has accumulated substantially more assets and net worth than the other party. Keeping in mind that a prenuptial agreement is a form of contract, the parties are able to negotiate and agree upon prior to marriage what interest, if any, each spouse is to possess in a particular asset or particular group of assets belonging to the other spouse. This is very important because Florida is an equitable distribution jurisdiction, which means that in the event the parties decide to divorce, each spouse owns an equal undivided interest in all of the assets and liabilities of the marital estate.
Guardianship
When you hire Daniel M. Copeland, Attorney at Law, P.A. to represent your interests in any legal matter, whether it is for construction defects, contract disputes, real estate matters, land use/zoning, landlord/tenant issues, guardianship, divorce, child support, or wills and probate, you receive the benefit of Mr. Copeland’s extensive financial, business and real estate experience as additional value. His experience is particularly beneficial to you if your case requires the partition of real estate, valuation of a closely held or family business, or a high asset divorce.
Spousal Support
In the State of Florida, a family court judge has broad discretion to award alimony or spousal support to be paid by one spouse to another. An important change in the new tax code no longer allows for high income parties to take their alimony payments as a tax deduction and the receiving spouse to recognize their alimony payments as income. As stated above, this new change in the tax code only affects “high income” individuals. The shifting of the tax burden created by alimony payments is an important factor to consider when structuring the overall financial support component of a divorce. Our Jacksonville alimony lawyers are highly skilled in examining various financial settlements that will provide the greatest amount of income to our client while minimizing the tax impact.

Misdemeanors
Under Florida law, it is illegal for individuals or businesses to hold themselves out as licensed when they are not. Florida Statutes 489.127 makes this crime a first degree misdemeanor for a first offense, and it is a third degree felony if the person has a prior conviction for this crime. It is also a third degree felony to wrongly hold yourself out as a licensed contractor during a state of emergency, such as after a devastating or destructive storm. The state has the power to issue a stop-work order against an unlicensed contractor and issue a citation with penalties up to $2,000 per day.
Restraining Order
Call us immediately if you have been served with a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) because the earlier our experienced attorney and staff starts working on your case, the better opportunity we have in mitigating the negative effects of an accusation of domestic violence on your life and career.

Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
Prepare, and file necessary documents including: an application for a federal employer identification number; Articles of Incorporation / Organization, Bylaws, Operating Agreements / Shareholder Agreements, application for state sales tax number, etc.;
Business Formation
The strong start to every business venture also requires an understanding of legal exposure, asset protection, and tax implications. A business plan containing well-drafted legal documents is crucial to the success of any start-up, contact an experienced Jacksonville business formation lawyer today.
Business Disputes
Construction Contracts
The law is presumed to be included in the contract. Terms may be implied or expressly stated in construction contracts. Written contracts may be modified by the parties’ subsequent oral agreement. Under certain circumstances a written agreement can be modified by a course of dealing, but where the contract is unambiguous it cannot be modified by the course of dealing between the parties. The failure to read an agreement is not a defense to the agreement. Being prevented from reading the contract can be a defense to the making of a contract.

Real Estate Litigation
Some neighbors have longstanding disputes over a fence or the exact location of a property line boundary between them. Other times, property owners may own real estate for years never knowing about an issue with the boundary line until the issue is discovered while trying to sell the property. Whether selling now or later, you’ll never be able to close until the dispute is resolved or remedied in some way. At Daniel M. Copeland, Attorney at Law, P.A., we are experienced in the full range of Jacksonville real property litigation, including encroachment and boundary disputes. Learn more about these property disputes below, or call our office at 904-482-0616 for immediate assistance.
Construction Litigation
Legal issues involving construction matters and disputes are often complex and nearly always time-sensitive. In order to preserve your rights to seek relief in a construction dispute, regardless of whether you are the property owner, contractor, sub-contractor or vendor who supplied materials to the project, there are a number of requirements that you must have timely complied with and if you have failed to do so, you may have lost substantial rights and remedies. Contact an experienced Jacksonville construction lawyer today, we can help.
Real Estate Transactions
A real estate sale can’t close until an encroachment or boundary dispute is resolved. The placement of a fence or tree, or the claim of an easement or right-of-way, can keep you from being able to sell the property you rightfully own. Attorney Daniel M. Copeland is experienced in litigating property line disputes, including instigating lawsuits against municipalities and their surveyors for performing incorrect surveys.
Easement
Land Use and Zoning

During her last year of service, Sharon oversaw the complete revision of the local zoning and land use code that is still in use today

Property Damage
Trees growing near the property line with overhanging branches on your property can violate your property rights. They can also be considered a nuisance and even cause significant property damage if a branch comes down on your home or car, for instance. Liability of the tree owner under Florida law may depend upon whether the branches were healthy or dead when they fell. Likewise, your ability to trim back those branches or remove the tree may depend on the health of the tree and a number of other factors.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
You’ve earned your wealth and acquired your property. Now you want to preserve it during your life to pass on to the people and causes that you care about. At the office of Daniel M. Copeland, Attorney at Law, P.A. we offer complete estate planning services that allow us to take care of both very basic and complex estate planning needs. While we work with you to select the right tools to manage your estate, we will provide you with customized legal service and representation.
Wills
What if someone promises to leave an inheritance to you? But the will leaves everything to someone else? Do you inherit? A further thought on inheritance law in Florida: oral promises to leave in inheritance are not valid. For someone to leave an inheritance under Florida law, they must do so by some written form: under a last will, under a Florida revocable trust, or by creating, through written documents, a joint Florida bank account, or by naming someone as a beneficiary of some life insurance policy or on an annuity.
Trusts
Trusts – Whether you need a basic testamentary trust or a complex living trust, we will honor the process so that your assets are directed to care for your beneficiaries when the time comes to provide for them.
Power of Attorney
Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Health Care Directives – We can help you draft your will and appoint powers of attorney for your finances, health care, and other areas of life. We can also help you outline your wishes for medical care in the event that you become incapacitated with Advanced Health Care Directives.
Probate
Inheritance in Florida refers to the rights of individuals to receive money and property upon the death of a Florida citizen. Under Florida probate law, also referred to as Florida estate law, there are many valuable property rights created for beneficiaries, heirs, next of kin, widows, and loved ones.

Foreclosure
Construction jobs typically involve a lot of parties, a lot of work, and a lot of money. Payment on a construction project may occur in pieces as significant milestones are met, with final payment at the end of the project. Rare is the construction project where the entire amount owed is paid at the beginning of the project. Contractors, subs, suppliers and workers all want to ensure that they will be paid at the appropriate time. To meet that need, construction liens exist as an assurance of payment and as a remedy for non-payment. Florida construction lien law is complex, however, and liens must be done right from the start if they are to be enforceable. Jacksonville construction lien lawyer Daniel M. Copeland represents contractors, subcontractors and property owners in northeast Florida in the construction lien process, including prosecuting and defending lien foreclosure actions. Learn more about construction liens below, and contact Daniel M. Copeland, Attorney at Law, P.A. for assistance with construction liens on your project.
