Q: Can I appeal a decision by a custody consiliator in pa
A: Yes. The appeal period is set forth on the order you received.
Ryan L Hyde agrees with this answer
A: Yes, you can appeal it to a Common Pleas judge and have the case heard. Ms. Hilbush emphasizes a key point. There are time limits on these filings and they are often 30 days or less. If you don't have an attorney you may want to review your case with an experienced family attorney before taking the appeal. Importantly, don't miss the deadline or you are time barred and a whole raft of new problems appears.
