What Is a Family Law Appeal?
A family law appeal is a legal process that allows you to challenge a trial court’s decision in a higher court. Appeals are not new trials; instead, they focus on whether the law was applied correctly and whether the legal proceedings were fair. Common family law matters that may be appealed include divorce judgments, child custody and support orders, property division, and spousal support determinations.
