Your final divorce judgment has been handed to you after months and months of battling with your ex-spouse. What do you do if you are not happy with the court’s decision? You can file an appeal to a higher court to review a possible mistake.
If you believe the first court made a mistake in its decision and did not understand the facts surrounding your situation, you can file an appeal. You have now become the petitioner and your ex-spouse is the respondent.
It is important to know that you must have legal grounds to file an appeal; you cannot do it just because you are unhappy with the court’s decision. In addition, the appeal is valid only if you had objections to these mistakes during the trial.
If you believe you have legal grounds to file an appeal to a court decision, contact an experienced Orange County Family Law attorney who will review your case and advise you of your legal options.
