My settlement was unfair, can I appeal?
=======================================

If you believe the financial settlement from your divorce was unfair, it may be possible to appeal your case. A successful appeal may lead to a change in the amount of spousal maintenance awarded or how the assets were divided.

However, [the appeal process](https://vardags.com/law-guide/how-the-courts-decide-a-financial-settlement/appealing-an-unfair-divorce-settlement) is complex. Once a couple is divorced, it is important that they obtain a financial remedy order, detailing how their finances should be settled. Without this, either party may make a financial claim against the other in the future, even long after the divorce. A financial remedy order severs these financial claims and so is intended to be final. Where possible, the court will aim to provide a '[clean break](https://vardags.com/law-guide/how-the-courts-decide-a-financial-settlement/clean-break-settlements)' for the parties, so that they can move on and live independently from each other.

To appeal against a financial order, you will need to show that the judge was wrong in the way the final decision was reached (learn more [here](https://vardags.com/law-guide/how-the-courts-decide-a-financial-settlement/appealing-an-unfair-divorce-settlement)). As experienced family lawyers, the legal team at Vardags will help you prepare your case for appeal. We will review the initial judgment and advise you whether it is possible to appeal.
