What if I disagree with the court’s custody decision?

If you disagree with the court’s custody decision in Florida, you have the right to appeal the decision. To appeal the court’s decision, you must file a Notice of Appeal. You must file this within 30 days of the court’s decision. It is important to note that the appeal process may be lengthy and expensive. You should consult an attorney for advice before filing the Notice of Appeal. Once the Notice of Appeal is filed, the court will review the entire legal file to determine if any errors were made. The court can then modify the custody decision. You may also be able to present new evidence at the appellate level. This could be evidence that was not available at the time of the original hearing. If you disagree with the appellate court’s decision, then you may be able to ask the Florida Supreme Court to review the case. This is called a petition for discretionary review. The Supreme Court can agree or disagree to review the case depending on the specific facts of the case and the law. If the Supreme Court agrees to review the case, then the appellate court’s decision can be overturned, and the original trial court’s decision may be reversed. In any event, it is important to remember that it is the court’s decision to make the custody order and the best interests of the child are always the primary concern. Before deciding to appeal, you should speak to an experienced attorney who can advise you on all of your legal options.
