Where a spouse is dissatisfied with the outcome of a case, they can appeal. To do so, however, they must have viable grounds. Judges in family law have a wide discretion to make findings of fact and rule on the distribution of assets between the parties. For a successful appeal, the court must be shown that the initial judge erred in their understanding or application of the law. It is not possible to have a re-run of the case simply because you do not like the outcome.
