What are the Grounds for Appealing a Family Court Decision?

Disagreeing with the judge’s decision in your case does not necessarily mean that you have valid legal grounds for an appeal. However, it is worth consulting with one of our family law attorneys to discuss your case if you feel strongly that the decision in your case was unjust or unfounded.

Our attorneys, Matthew S. Nugent and Adam M. Zborowski, have extensive experience investigating the circumstances of a family court ruling to determine if the party has grounds for an appeal. Some of the grounds that may lead to a successful appeal of the decision in your case include:

• The judge abused his or her discretion in deciding the case;

• The judge did not consider statutory elements or requirements when deciding the case;

• The court committed procedural errors;

• Additional evidence or a change in circumstances justifies a review of the case; and,

• The judge’s decision is not consistent with the applicable law.

An appeal lengthens the time it takes to obtain a final resolution of your family law matter. However, when a decision is made in error, an appeal may be necessary to set things right, especially when the decision involves your children.
