Divorce and Custody Appeals

We represent and advise clients on appeal in complex and lengthy divorces, child custody and paternity proceedings, collection of child support, Child Protective Act proceedings, attorney’s fee awards, and Uniform Interstate Family Support Act cases. Mr. Caballero is also one of the co-authors of the appeals section in the latest edition of the Hawaiʻi State Bar Association’s Divorce Manual.

We take appeals and provide appellate advice in anticipation of an appeal concerning any aspect of a divorce or child custody dispute.

Some representative matters include:

• Successful appeal to the Intermediate Court of Appeals reversing a family court decision granting sole physical and legal custody over a minor child to father on the basis that mother was denied adequate due process.

• Successfully defend appeal to the Intermediate Court of Appeals affirming family court decision awarding joint physical and legal custody to mother over father’s objections.

• Represent mother of two children in an appeal concerning father’s failure to pay child support for decades.
