Family Law Appeals
Do you think the judge got it wrong? Not every order can be appealed from, but most final orders can be appealed within 30 days of when the order/decree was issued. This means that time is of the essence! There are not many attorneys who do family law appeals. It requires knowledge in the area of family law to most efficiently and effectively pursue.

Review of Elizabeth Bittner
“I just came out of a legal divorce that felt like a nightmare dealing for about 2 and a half years. But after knowing that my case was going to need much more legal support and professionalism help I decided to hire Ms. Bittner’s expertise. She is what I was told “Amazingly Awesome” thru her investigative work I was able to get the most favorable outcome I could ask for. She puts lots of care and effort in her work. I would recommend her to anyone that needs her. Thanks again Liz!!!”
M.G.
Appeals are usually a lengthy and extensive process that should only be entered into after a thorough risk/reward analysis. There is a “fast track” process in place for custody issue, however, even then the process is not what most would consider “fast.” Having an attorney who is experienced in the appeal process lessens the unknowns for you and gives you a realistic expectation of potential outcomes.
To give you the best advise, the attorney will need a copy of the order/decree that you think should be appealed. A thorough evaluation of the order is necessary to ascertain if there is any legal basis for an appeal. A legal basis for an appeal is different than being upset at the outcome of a hearing or trial. A legal basis for an appeal means that an order/decree is based on an error of fact or the application of the law by the judge. These are the issues that an attorney can identify and give you guidance on whether or not it is worth it for you to pursue an appeal.
The area of family law appeals applies to appealing final orders on custody, custody modification, child support, legal custody issues, a Decree of Divorce dividing up property and/or awarding spousal support, orders terminating parental rights, and any other final order in family law cases.
