Family Law Appeals

At Markham Law Firm, we understand that family law appeals are complex. If you receive a family court decision that is unfavorable, you still have options. Our experienced legal team guides clients through the complex process of challenging family court rulings in matters such as:

• Child custody and visitation

• Child support and alimony

• International child abduction

• Division of assets, property, and retirement in divorce

• Protection orders and domestic violence findings

A successful appeal requires a deep understanding of both family law and appellate procedures. Our team knows how to build strong cases for the appeal process, ensuring you have the best chance for a positive outcome. Whether it is a legal error, misinterpretation of the facts, or a decision that does not reflect your best interests, an appeal gives you the opportunity to have a higher court review what occurred in the trial court.

Our Process:

1.    Consultation:
Let us review your case and determine if you have grounds for an appeal.

2.    Detailed Case Review & Strategy:
We will analyze the lower court’s ruling, review the trial record, and discuss your objectives. Our team develops a strategic approach based on your goals.

3.    File the Appeal:
Once you decide to proceed, we handle the legal paperwork, including filing your appeal with the appropriate court and ensuring all deadlines are met.

4.    Present Your Case:
We will craft persuasive written briefs and present your case in the appellate court.

5.    Ongoing Support & Communication:
Throughout the appeal process, we will keep you informed at every step, offering guidance and support.

Appeals are time sensitive—Missing a deadline could mean losing your right to challenge the decision. It is essential that you contact an attorney to set up a consultation as soon as you receive notice of the decision you wish to appeal. To meet our team of adept Attorneys, click here.
