If you have received a trial court decision in a family law matter and don’t feel that the outcome was fair or right, it is best to consult an appellate lawyer to determine your next steps.

When To Proceed With a Family Appeal

Family law appeals are fact-specific. They may concern issues of custody, access, support or the division of property. Since appeal courts show great deference to the findings of fact or remedies made by a court judge, it can be challenging to identify grounds for appeal. These are the types of questions that should be looked at in considering whether to appeal a family law case or in presenting a family law appeal:

  • did the trial judge misapprehend the evidence;
  • did the trial judge fail to appreciate the significance of relevant evidence; 
  • did the trial judge misapply a legal standard, such as the best interests of the child;
  • did the trial judge conduct the trial in a manner that was procedurally fair; 
  • do the reasons of the trial judge adequately explain the reasoning process.

Since family law appeals are so fact-specific, the appeal lawyer must review the evidence carefully and select one or two points that have the potential for a successful appeal. This requires experience, discipline and objectivity.
