Appeals in family law cases are handled after a case
goes to trial and after a final order is entered by the
trial court Judge. Once the Judge’s opinion is written,
strict time restrictions are placed on all parties in
the event they wish to appeal, or challenge the Judge’s
decision. Appeals may be based on the belief that the
Judge applied the incorrect standard to the law in a
case; the Judge abused his or her discretion on a
particular issue; made incorrect rulings in the case; or
made an error that led to an unfair result that may be
contrary to the laws of the State of Michigan or United
States Constitution.
Transcripts from the trial court are required in order
to determine whether the trial court’s record supports
the appeal, and if so, the basis in the record for each
issue that will be taken to the appellate court for a
determination.
