What is A Divorce Appeal?
A divorce appeal is when one party challenges the decision made by the judge regarding custody, visitation, child support, spousal maintenance, division of property or debt, or other issues related to the dissolution of marriage. The appealing party must file their notice of appeal within 49 days after the date of the final decree. If you believe there were errors in the judgment, you may file an appeal.

The Appellate Process
The appellate court will review the record of the trial court proceedings and the relevant legal standards to determine whether the trial court erred in its ruling. The appellate court does not re-try the case; rather, they analyze the evidence presented to the trial court to determine if the trial court erred.
Typical Grounds for Appeal
Not all cases are available to appeal. The appealing party must establish proper grounds for the appeal.
If you have proper grounds for an appeal, work with an experienced appellate attorney. We understand the applicable legal standards and will guide you through the appellate process.
Potential Outcomes from the Appellate Court
When you file an appeal, the appellate court reviews the issues on appeal to determine whether the trial court correctly decided the case. If the appellate court finds that the trial court erred, they have several opfions.
