Attorneys in Blanchard, OK – Family Law Appeals 

In the intricate domain of Oklahoma family law, the right to appeal assumes a central role in safeguarding justice and equity in judicial pronouncements. An appeal serves as a procedural recourse for parties who perceive that the trial court's verdict in their family law case was marred by legal errors, an abuse of judicial discretion, or a verdict lacking substantiated evidence. The spectrum of family law matters eligible for appeal is extensive, covering several pivotal aspects of familial relations and obligations. 

Divorce Decisions – At the heart of many family law appeals lie conflicts arising from marital dissolution. This category encompasses contested rulings concerning the equitable distribution of marital assets and liabilities, the allocation of spousal support (alimony), and other essential components of the divorce decree. Parties may pursue an appeal if they argue that these rulings were based on an erroneous application of law or a misinterpretation of the factual context surrounding the case. 

Child Custody and Visitation – The welfare of children takes precedence in family law, often leading to appellate scrutiny of custody and visitation determinations. Appeals in this domain commonly contest the trial court's custody decisions or visitation schedules, alleging inadequate consideration of the child's best interests or incorrect application of legal standards. 

Child Support – Another critical area involves challenges to the calculation of child support payments. Appellants may assert that the trial court deviated from established guidelines without proper justification or that its determination relied on an inaccurate assessment of the financial evidence, necessitating appellate intervention. 

Adoption – The adoption process is fraught with legal complexities, and decisions regarding the termination of parental rights or the finalization of adoptions may face appeals. Such appeals often argue that the trial court overlooked crucial evidence or failed to adhere to the legal standards governing the adoption process. 

Paternity – In disputes over paternity, appeals may arise from contested determinations with significant implications for custody, visitation, and child support. The focus of the appeal could be on challenging the legal and procedural basis of the trial court's findings. 

Protective Orders – Decisions concerning the issuance, denial, or specific terms of protective orders in cases of domestic violence or harassment also fall within the appellate purview. These appeals typically assert that the trial court's decision was inconsistent with the protective aims of the law or failed to consider relevant evidence. 

Enforcement and Modification Orders – Lastly, orders enforcing or modifying existing family law judgments—whether related to custody, visitation, child support, or alimony—can be subjects of appeals. These appeals often argue that the trial court either ignored new evidence, made erroneous findings, or misapplied the law in its decision-making process. 

Each of these areas underscores the critical role of appellate review in upholding the principles of justice and legal correctness in family law matters. Given the complexity of the issues involved and the stringent procedural rules governing appeals, parties considering this legal avenue are strongly advised to seek the guidance of skilled attorneys with expertise in Oklahoma family law appeals. Such professional support is indispensable in navigating the appellate process, articulating legal arguments precisely, and advocating effectively for the desired outcome.

In the following section, we will guide you through estate plans and how they work. Our estate planning attorneys have dealt with estate plans of all kinds, and we know how important it's to create the right plan for you and your family. If you seek any of these services, consult with a Ball Morse Lowe estate planning attorney today! 

Estate Planning – Establishing an estate plan is an important step if you are looking to protect both your family and assets following your death. With an effective estate plan in place, you can make this process easy for your loved ones. At Ball Morse Lowe, we provide each client with the tools they need to create a proper estate plan. We also help clients follow all estate planning guidelines, so their plans are effective following their death. 

Probate – Probate is never a pleasant experience for anyone involved. All of your assets and beneficiaries are up to the discretion of the state of Oklahoma, and they're more than likely not going to distribute these assets how you would normally like. Probate can be avoided with certain estate plans, but sometimes avoiding probate is impossible. Our probate attorneys at Ball Morse Lowe understand that, and we are here to help families through this difficult time.

Elder Law – Elder law works in combination with estate plans, as it's essentially the education provided to seniors on how to handle finances later in life.

If you are a senior citizen living in Blanchard, please contact us if you have any questions about elder law! 

Wills and Trusts – If you have an understanding of estate plans, you have more than likely heard of wills and trusts. Wills are legal documents that include who your beneficiaries are, how you would like to distribute your assets, and can also include who you selected as your children’s guardian if you pass away. Trusts also provide information on your beneficiaries and your assets, but they also completely avoid probate. 

Power of Attorney – Selecting an agent to act on your behalf regarding life decisions, ranging from financial to medical, can be lifesaving in some situations. After the creator of a power of attorney becomes incapacitated, they will have a plan in place that will provide them the ability to continue making their own decisions. These selected agents following rules set by the now incapacitated individual to make sure they're receiving the care they would choose under normal circumstances. 

Cohabitation Agreements – Establishing a cohabitation agreement may seem confusing, but with the right estate planning attorney, the process can be quite simple. These agreements serve as a legally binding agreement between you and your partner, explaining how you wish to handle financial matters throughout the relationship, as well as how assets are split following the end of the relationship. If you and your partner are seeking more information about these agreements, please contact our estate planning offices today!

Acquisitions – Buying or selling a business can be exciting, but it can make or break a business. If you are the buyer during this transaction, you must create all necessary paperwork for this process. If you are the seller, you are responsible for negotiating the price for the buyer.
