The appellate process in a necessary part of litigation in the event that errors are made by the trial court. The Florida appellate courts have their own rules of procedure, and it is important to have the proper assistance to guide you through the process. It is also important to have trial counsel that is familiar with appellate practice, as such counsel can assist you with raising and preserving the important issues on the trial level in order to stand ready in the event of a negative result. Appeals can involve any issue in a family law matter from child custody and timesharing to alimony, equitable distribution, and attorney’s fees. Time is always of the essence with appeals (a mere day can make a difference). You should never wait to seek a consultation if you believe you have an issue for appeal.
