What must I prove in order to have a divorce ruling overturned?
If you're unhappy with a divorce ruling and you want to have it overturned or changed, you really need to consult with a professional because each type of ruling has a different protocal. So, if this were a ruling that, let's talk about child support for example. If the ruling was based on incorrect information or if between the time of the hearing and the time of the ruling there was a change in income, then you wouldn't need to overturn the ruling at all. You'd simply go back in and say I need child support recalculated based on the change in circumstances. So, you wouldn't even have to have the ruling undone, shall we say. If this is a more serious issue like a permanet order or a judgment, there's an appeal process. There are motions for new trial. There's all kinds of procedural processes that are highly technical. So, if you're thinking about this and you're out there on your own, consult with a really well-qualified family law specialist.
