What can I do if Im dissatisfied with an interim divorce court order before my divorce is finalised by decree absolute?
You can appeal against an interim decision or divorce court order made by a District Judge in England and Wales or Sheriff in Scotland concerning your children or any financial matters. However, an appeal of an interim order is a serious matter which shouldn’t be undertaken frivolously and it’s also unlikely to be successful. District Judges and Sheriffs enjoy enormous discretion and unless there’s an error in law or an error in fact, the appeal divorce courts are unlikely to interfere with their judgment. Moreover, an appeal can be quite expensive. Since the loser normally pays the legal fees for both sides, an appeal is something that must be considered with caution.
