Appeal deadline: 30 days from the date the order was signed - not when you received it
Appeal Viability Assessment - $99
Is your case worth appealing?
Answer a few questions. We read your order and tell you honestly within 48 hours whether there is a legal basis, what the strongest argument is, and what we recommend. No phone call required.
Question 1 of 4
What did the judge rule against you on?
Select the issue that matters most. This tells us what legal standard applies to your case.
👪
Custody or parenting time
The judge gave less time with my child than I believe the evidence supported
💰
Child support or financial order
The amount ordered is wrong, based on incorrect income figures, or miscalculated
⚖️
Procedural error or unfair process
Evidence was wrongly excluded, I was not given a fair hearing, or the judge applied the wrong legal standard
📋
Temporary order I need to challenge now
A temporary or emergency order was entered against me and I need to respond
Question 2 of 4
In your own words, what did the judge get wrong?
Do not worry about legal language. Just tell us what happened and why you believe it was wrong. This is what we actually read when preparing your assessment.
Examples: "The judge ignored evidence that the other parent missed 40% of scheduled visits." / "My income was calculated wrong - they used my gross instead of net." / "The GAL's report had false information and the judge accepted it without question."

Question 3 of 4
When was the order signed by the judge?
