Appeals & Revisions

Challenging Family Court Orders

If a family court passes an order or judgment and you are not satisfied with the relief granted, the fight is not necessarily over. Jurisdiction often lies before the Appellate courts (the High Court or the Supreme Court) to challenge the decision.

Filing an Appeal or Revision

This is a complex legal stage where it is necessary to prove the lower court's errors, such as:

• Errors in Law: The court misinterpreted or misapplied the law.
• Non-appreciation of Facts or Evidence: The court ignored or undervalued critical evidence you presented.
• Aspects Contrary to the Law: The decision was not in accordance with legal precedent.
