Family court decisions can have a significant impact on your life and the lives of your loved ones. Whether it’s a divorce, custody arrangement, or child support order, these decisions can shape your future and that of your family. It’s essential to understand what family court decisions can be appealed in Colorado and the appeals process.
A family court appeal is a legal process that allows a party to seek a review of a decision made by a lower court. The purpose of the appeal is to determine whether the initial decision contained legal errors or an abuse of discretion by the magistrate or judge. In Colorado, family law issues decided by a magistrate are appealed to a district court judge, while orders issued by a judge are appealed to the Colorado Court of Appeals. However, for an appeal to be considered, the order must be fully decided, and a final written order must be issued.
