What To Know About Appeals In North Carolina
You may have the option of appealing the district court’s divorce or custody order before a state court of appeals. To do so, you must demonstrate that the previous trial involved an error or a misuse of the judge’s discretion. Even so, the appellate court rarely goes against the lower court’s decision.
For a fighting chance, you will need an experienced litigator, such as Daphne Edwards, who has litigated numerous appellate family law cases in state and federal courts throughout North Carolina.
When Can You Modify An Existing Order?
If you and your former spouse or your child’s other parent agree to modify an existing order, you can come to an agreement and file it with the court. Courts will nearly always grant agreed-upon post-judgment modifications. If the other party does not agree, you must file a petition for modification. Then, you may need to appear in court to explain the necessity of a modification.
As a divorce lawyer, Ms. Edwards regularly works with individuals and their former partners to renegotiate alimony arrangements, parenting schedules and many other existing divorce-related court orders.
