When divorce cases do not go as expected, clients may find that their rights were not adequately addressed or errors occurred during the process. In such cases, filing a divorce appeal may be necessary. At Ciyou & Associates, P.C., we have years of experience handling divorce appeals and providing thorough representation for clients who wish to challenge court rulings.
A divorce appeal is a request for a higher court to review and potentially reverse or modify the decisions made in a divorce case. If legal errors occurred during the trial—such as improper application of the law, mistakes in fact-finding, or failure to provide adequate representation—you may have grounds for an appeal.
Appeals are time-sensitive, and acting quickly to protect your rights is critical. Our attorneys are skilled in handling divorce appeals and ensuring that every aspect of the case is carefully reviewed for potential errors. It is also essential to note that divorce appeals are not about dissatisfaction with the outcome but must focus on specific legal mistakes made by the lower court that affected the judgment.
Errors in Property Division
If the trial court misinterpreted or misapplied the law regarding property division, an appeal may be necessary to correct the error.
Child Custody and Support Issues
Disputes over child custody, support, or visitation are often grounds for appeal, mainly if the court’s ruling does not reflect the child's best interests or fails to consider all relevant factors.
Spousal Support Disputes
An appeal can help correct the trial court's decision in cases where spousal support (alimony) is improperly awarded or denied.
