At the trial level, domestic relations cases have a lot of moving parts. After the court makes their decision, many clients will ask about appealing their case if they are not happy with the results. This seminar will provide tips for preserving the record to ensure your client is in the best possible position in a potential appeal, whether you win or lose at the trial level. Topics will include evidentiary objections (do they matter?), offers of proof, common preservation pitfalls, use of proposed findings/conclusions, and what can be done between the time of the ruling and time an appeal is initiated. It will also provide basic information on the appeal process, including the typical timelines and costs. Andrew Newsom, Holtey Brown Newsom, an expert in domestic relations appeals, will present this topic for domestic relations attorneys who would like to know more about how to set a case up for success in the appellate process - and how to be a better trial attorney as a result.
