    You would have to file the appropriate papers according to your State - possibly a Motion to reduce for changed circumstances, possibly a Motion because the order was based on incorrect info.

    You can do it without an Attorney, of course, but if the other side HAS an Attorney you will be at a terrible disadvantage.

    Hello amy:

    Couple things... An appeal is based on legal error - not because it wasn't fair or you didn't like it. Therefore, you're going to have to cite exactly how the judge legally erred. You're going to have to supply actual court precedents where a previous court decided FOR the argument you plan to present.

    If you don't know how to write and argue an appeal, and you don't know, from a legal perspective, what the judge did wrong, and you don't know know how to do legal research, you'll be more successful doing open heart surgery on yourself.

    Yes, what error happened, did they base the child support off the wrong income. In most cases, child support is based on a forumla that is based on income figures given the court. They may then add health insurance payments, child day care and more.

    But normally in family court, without an attorney you don't get too far

    Appeal what? A witness is going to appeal a marriage license OR the validity of a marriage?

    A witness is simply a person who was there and saw two people take vows. They don't swear to any facts.

    Or isn't that your question?

    In 2010 the judge gave custody to my daughters father. We had for 10 years joint. Now He has sole legal. In jan. 2013 the judge ordered that I can only have my daughter sat. from 10-5 and Sunday 10-5 and wed 530-730. Prior to this I was an outstanding mother! Her father works in our county as a captian for the sherriff office. Throughout the 10 year period her father took me to court several times draining my funds and wearing me down. I have proof that the judge and her father have worked together on this. I need my daughter back she is suffering over this change and so am I. It is complete unjustice. There is much more in this case that I cannot go into in a short time. Who can help me get this case completely removed from this county?

    Who can help you change custody? An Attorney after you provide proof of what you are alleging.
