Attorneys will answer all posts Forum rule: be polite! Answers are for Florida Law only. Also: please be patient. We try to post answers to all questions. Though we hope to get business from this forum - it is also a public service. Please don't abuse us by writing 1000 words in your post. This forum is for short questions and answers only. If you have needs that go beyond that - you really need a personal consultation. By posting on this forum you agree all information you submit will be publicly posted and there is no expectation of an attorney-client relationship.

This section will be devoted to divorce, custody, support, and alimony cases that have been appealed. Interesting cases, their circumstances, and their final outcomes will be summarized. Why are family law appeals important? Because appellate cases define the meaning of our laws in Florida. As each case is appealed and decided, a body of law called appellate law is published and referenced by lawyers and judges. The trial courts are guided by appellate cases. If a particular issue has been appealed and decided - it is the duty of trial courts to follow the same general logic on that particular issue. Every few weeks we will post a new case. By reading this section you will develop an understanding of Florida divorce and custody law.
