Appealing an Adverse Decision in Alimony or Property Division
Nevada Attorneys Handling Divorce Appeals
Just because a judge has made a decision does not make that decision right. The judge may have failed to consider all the facts. He or she may have made a simple math error that resulted in one party getting more or less than they were due. Errors in property or debt division and unfair alimony awards are family court decisions that are frequently appealed.
If you believe you were treated unfairly in your divorce trial because there was a mistake in how the case was handled, talk to a lawyer at Ciciliano & Associates, LLC about divorce appeals. We will examine the court record of your divorce to identify if there are issues that can be appealed to the Nevada District Court.

Ensuring Correct Trial Procedure and Proper Consideration of the Facts
Issues to be appealed in divorce cases involve the division of property and the award of alimony. For example, questions raised in property division include:
- Was an asset wrongly considered community property, or wrongly considered to be separate property?
- Did the court fail to consider some assets when it divided them?
- Did the court make a math mistake in the division of community property?
In the area of spousal support (alimony), one spouse may have received too much or too little support because:
- The court did not give proper consideration to the positive financial position of the person seeking alimony.
- The court did not consider that an unemployed spouse is not seeking work, is refusing to accept work at higher than their current pay level, or is refusing to take action to improve their earning potential.
The appellate attorneys of Ciciliano & Associates, LLC have successfully appealed a number of property and alimony awards. We will review your case carefully and give you an assessment of your chances in appeals court. Whether or not we handled your initial divorce trial, we can handle your appeal.
