Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

No. The husband cannot appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court because the legal issue involves family law, which is purely a matter of state law. The U.S. Supreme Court can hear appeals from state supreme courts only if the legal question involves the Constitution or federal law.
