An appeal is a legal challenge to a final decision made by a trial court. It is not a new trial. It asks a higher court to review the lower court’s ruling for legal mistakes.

Is there a deadline to file an adoption appeal in Ohio?
Yes. You usually have 30 days from the date of the final judgment to file a Notice of Appeal. If this deadline is missed, your appeal may be barred.
