Appeals & Motions to Modify

Appealing Unfavorable Divorce and Custody Rulings

Making a life after an unfavorable judge's ruling on child custody or property division can be a difficult task, leaving your life empty and emotionally challenging. Fortunately, attorney Judith Ridgeway at Ridgeway Law Office can assist in filing a child custody appeal or a motion to modify another divorce ruling, giving you the chance to put your life back in order.

The firm assists clients in Norman and throughout Cleveland County, Oklahoma, with the complicated task of appealing a court decision on a divorce or child custody matter. My staff can assist clients who wish to appeal these rulings within 30 days of the court's decision, or those who have experienced a major change in life's circumstances after a ruling and need assistance in modifying a custody or support arrangement.

If you would like to challenge a court ruling, I can help. Contact my office online or call 405-217-3791 or toll free 866-523-6965 to schedule a free consultation to discuss your issues with an experienced attorney.

Fighting to Help You Find a Favorable Resolution

Court rulings that go against your favor can limit the time you spend with your children and impact your role in their upbringing. My work is designed to help you find the custody arrangement and financial well being you need through:

  • Appeals: Within 30 days of unfavorable rulings, you may file an appeal to have the courts reconsider the evidence in your divorce. My staff will assist in completing a petition in error, starting the appeal process, and will help you sift through the evidence to better present your side of the situation. The firm's appeals services can assist in overturning an unfavorable ruling related to child custody and support, property division and attorney fees. I am also able to assist clients who feel they have not received the best legal representation possible from former lawyers, offering a second opinion on property division or custody arrangements.
  • Modifications: Available to clients who have experienced major life changes including loss of employment or relocation, the firm's modification services can assist in changing custody arrangements, support amounts, alimony payments and visitation agreements.
