Divorce lawyers are frequently asked: What are my chances of winning an appeal? The answer is never simple. The answer to the question requires counsel to consider (1) whether the trial court committed errors of law, which would be considered reversible error; (2) whether the trial court committed evidentiary errors which were not harmless; (3) whether the trial court abused its substantial discretion in making its financial and custody awards; and (4) whether trial counsel preserved the right to appeal.
