You should think twice before you decide that you want to appeal a decision, as appeals can be surprisingly expensive. They're usually not as expensive as trials are, but the cost is still substantial. As well, it isn't always necessary to appeal a decision. This is especially important to consider unless the decision is about division of property or debt. Orders, even final orders, which deal with children, child support, and spousal support can often be varied following the decision. Of course to vary an order, there must have been a significant change in circumstances since the original decision was made. Read the section on [[Changing Supreme Court Family Law Orders]] in the chapter [[Family Law Litigation in Supreme Court]] in the online edition of this wikibook to learn about what a ''change in circumstances'' means and how this might permit variation of an order.
