My family court judgement is being appealed?
November 15th, 2009
I have been told that the judgement we received from family court may be appealed. How does an appeal work in the Massachusetts probate and family court system? I’m having trouble finding information online, so any help is appreciated. Thanks! I am not the one appealing the judgement, it is the other parent.

The parties to an appeal file written briefs in the appeals court. The one who appeals tries to argue that the trial court made errors of law. For example, he might argue that the court applied the wrong standard in making some decision. The other side responds. The appeals court decides.
