Very interesting and informative.

When one party wins, can the loser have the judgment or order stayed by simply filing an appeal? Or is something more required, like posting a bond or asking permission from the court? When must a stay be requested from the trial court before the appellate court can issue a stay? The time to think about these things is now, as decisions must be made quickly when a ruling is made and clients want to know what they can do to protect the win or delay the loss.

Anthony D. Storm and Christopher C. Melcher discuss the urgency of these decisions as well as the special rules for family law actions. Watch "Appeals: Should I Stay or Go?" here: https://bit.ly/4601ork

And if you need it, BHBA now offers Legal Specialization credit in Appellate law.

Ms. Walsh's passion for family law began before law school when she volunteered at a local domestic violence clinic. During law school she interned at the Legal Aid Foundation helping with domestic violence and other family law matters. She was a member and an Editor of the Loyola International and Comparative Law Review. Ms. Walsh's published works include the law review article "The Effects of Intercountry Adoptions on Biological Parents' Rights", 1999. Ms. Walsh has been a practicing family law attorney since 2000.
