How the California Appeals Process Works
An appeal is not a retrial—it’s a detailed legal review to determine whether the lower court made an error in applying the law. Simply disagreeing with a judge’s decision is not enough; an appeal must be based on specific legal or procedural mistakes.
Examples of valid grounds for appeal include:
- Abuse of judicial discretion
- Mishandling or exclusion of evidence
- Inadequate findings of fact
- Failure to hold required hearings
Because appellate matters require extensive legal research, written arguments, and procedural precision, working with a skilled appellate attorney is critical.
Time is limited—appeals must be filed within strict deadlines. Consulting an experienced Los Angeles family law appellate lawyer right away can help ensure you don’t lose your right to challenge a decision.
Writs and Emergency Relief
Some family court orders cannot be appealed directly. However, in urgent situations, you may be able to seek relief through an emergency writ to the appellate court. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling both civil and family law writs, helping clients act quickly when the circumstances demand immediate intervention.
