Filing an Appeal in a Family Court: The Process

Grounds for an Appeal

An appeal is not always possible, but if a judge’s decision was not supported by the law, an appeal is the next step. Family law matters that are decided at trial give judges a great deal of discretion in deciding the final outcome. 

Need to appeal a court order? You have limited time. Contact Law Office of Thomas D. Bumgardner immediately at (704) 870-4779.

To successfully appeal a court order, it must be proven that the judge in the matter failed to comply with current state law, misinterpreted the law, or reached a decision that did not reflect the evidence and facts presented at trial, otherwise known as an abuse of discretion.
