Effective Representation For Appeals
Judges and referees are human, and sometimes they get it wrong. With complex divorce and family law matters, there is potential for the trier of fact to make a mistake that results in an undesirable outcome for your case. Whether it’s an unfavorable decision at the conclusion of motion practice, or at the conclusion of hearing and/or trial, you have the right to appeal that judge or referee’s decision to a higher court.

Appealable Matters
Appealable divorce and family law matters may involve issues of property distribution, maintenance, child custody and more. You may appeal interim decisions (“pendent lite” decisions), as well as final decisions after the completion of a trial. While your appeal is pending, you may also seek a “stay” of an order, which stops the enforcement of the lower court order pending the outcome of an appeal. You must also decide if it is beneficial and cost-effective to do so. We will take the time to thoroughly review your potential appeal and provide you with the information you need to come to a decision as to whether to proceed or try a mediation approach.
