Afternoon all!
Quick question, I had an individual come to my office after being in a family court divorce trial, which was appealed to the appellate court. At trial her attorney failed to call a medical expert to testify as to the persons ability to work given medical issues. The judge commented that no permanent alimony would be ordered because no expert was called. The person filed an appeal to get an increase in alimony to permanent instead of term given the length of the marriage and medical issues. The appellate court denied the motion because no medical expert was presented to back up the claims.
Can I revisit this matter with a medical expert on a motion or is the person barred from presenting an expert now?
