Our Appellate Practice
Family law appeals are rare, but they are possible in select cases. The appellate process can be complicated and requires adherence to a strict time schedule, so it is important to work with an experienced and trusted appeals lawyer. At the Law Offices of Richard D. Goff, our attorneys have significant appellate experience at both the Appellate Court and the Supreme Court in the state of Minnesota.
Attorney Richard D. Goff has represented clients in a number of complicated disputes and has in-depth knowledge of the complicated legal procedures involved in the appellate process. More significantly, he understands the development of the law and how statutes, case precedent and local court rulings will play a role in your case. We are fully prepared to take cases to the Court of Appeals on behalf of our clients involving divorce, custody, support, or property division.
Can I Appeal My Divorce or Family Law Case?
In civil court, cases can be appealed when there was a previous injustice that may have impacted the final outcome in the case, such as:
- Mistake or misapplication of the law by the court
- Abuse of discretion by the court
Family law is a complicated area of law and the diverse needs of families cannot always be met by statutes, which can be confusing and misapplied in many cases. Our firm will take a strategic approach to assess your case, determine whether an appeal is possible, and if so, aggressively engage in pursuing your interests.
Mediation is required in the family law appeals process. We are strategic negotiators who also see this as another opportunity to resolve differences and to achieve the best possible outcome in your case. Our family law appeals attorneys work with experts when necessary and have the resources, experience, and skill to succeed in or out of court.
