Custody Appeals
Custody matters are often stressful and may be highly contentious. If the initial determination in your case does not end with the result you desire, you may be able to file an appeal. The timing of a custody appeal is extremely important.
It is a misconception that any custody decision may be appealed within 30 days. In some situations a custody appeal must be started within five days. Having a lawyer and a plan in place prior to the custody decision may make the difference between having an appeals and losing the opportunity to appeal. Illinois Supreme Court Rule 306A provides a speeded-up appeals process for many custody cases; appeals governed by Rule 306A are completed in 150 days, about half the time of other appeals.
Divorce Appeals
Most divorce (dissolution) appeals relate to money and the division of property. The appeals process in these situations usually involves a significant amount of financial resources and can be time-consuming. Consulting with an attorney, such as Curtis Blood, prior to or soon after entry of the judgment appealed will allow individuals to determine if the expense of the appeal is justified.
