The Benefits of Filing an Appeal

In a contested divorce case, a judge has the final say concerning the terms of your divorce. When errors affect the legal proceedings of your case, you may receive an unfair ruling.

Appealing your case enables you to receive a second look at the evidence considered in a previous ruling. If it is determined that the judge made an unfair decision, the terms of your separation could be modified or reversed.

You can appeal the following rulings within a family court:

• Child custody
• Child support
• Spousal support
• Property division

Bear in mind that the appeals process is lengthy and complicated. Cases often take a year to receive a ruling, and no new evidence can be presented in your favor. Because this process only relies on information from your initial trial, it is important to consult with your attorney before seeking an appeal.

Our firm has extensive experience in family law and can help you determine an appropriate course of action after an unfavorable ruling.
