In the event that a court ruling in a divorce or other family law legal dispute does not go your way, this does not mean you must sit by and simple accept the family courts decision.

Just as in other areas of law, divorce and family law allows for an individual to seek to have a judges ruling appealed.

A family law appeal may usually only be filed after the family law judge issues his or her final order, which is a legally binding court order which is meant to resolve specific family law issues or disputes.  Because every case is unique, it is important to seek experienced legal counsel to discuss whether you have grounds for a family law appeal and whether it makes sense to file for a review.

Those who choose to contest a family law court ruling must officially file an appeal with the appropriate Court Of Appeals. You must file the appeal in the district which has jurisdiction in the county in which your family law case occurred.

Contrary to popular belief, an appeal in not a new trial, but rather a forum in which you and your attorney / lawyer must persuade the court of appeals that the existence of legal errors occurred during the course of your trial, and that because of those errors, the family law court ruling should be reversed.

The first act in the appellate process is to file the "Notice Of Appeal". This document officially informs the trial court and opposing counsel of your intent to appeal the family law ruling. The next step is to request that the family law trial court "transmit the record" of the trial level proceedings, and that you be provided a copy of the transcript. As your legal counsel, we may initially argue on your behalf in what is known in what is known as an "appellate brief."
