Appealing aJuvenile Court Decision in Ohio
Juvenile appeals give you the chance to challenge a final order issued by a domestic or juvenile court. This could involve custody rulings, removal orders, termination of parental rights, abuse or neglect findings, or other decisions that directly impact your family.
An appeal is not a second trial. It is a review of what already happened. The appellate court examines the transcripts, filings, and legal arguments from your original case to determine whether the judge applied the law incorrectly or ruled unfairly. If the court finds error, the decision can be reversed or sent back for further proceedings.
Appeals require a precise and methodical approach. You must meet strict deadlines, cite the right legal issues, and build a clear record. That is where we come in.

FrequentlyAsked Questions
Can I appeal a temporary custody decision?
In most cases, only final orders can be appealed. We review your court ruling to determine if it qualifies and explain your options.
Will I have to testify again during the appeal?
No. Appeals rely on the original court record. There is no new testimony, no new evidence, and no witness questioning.
How long does the appeals process take?
It depends on the court's docket, but most juvenile appeals take several months. We provide a clear timeline and keep you updated from start to finish.
What if my original lawyer disagrees with appealing?
You do not need your trial attorney's permission to appeal. Many clients choose a different attorney for the appellate phase, and we are prepared to step in.
Can I stop the judge’s order while I appeal?
Possibly. We can file a motion to stay the court’s decision. Whether that motion is granted depends on the specifics of your case.
