A: We would need more information to determine if the father is within the appeal time limitations. Whether an appeal may be successful depends on several factors. I suggest you speak with an attorney as soon as possible if you have a recent adverse decision against you.

A: Yes, an appeal can be filed within the appropriate time frame. Most appeals are very expensive and ultimately not successful, so discuss with a family law attorney.
Homer P Jordan IV agrees with this answer
A: I agree with my colleagues, this depends on the facts of the case. You should consult with an attorney who can help you plan the proper course of action. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558 HomerJordan.com
A: It really depends. The court is given a great deal of discretion here, and the appellate court is generally not going to interfere with that discretion. Depending on your situation, and why you were denied, you may be better served by waiting a few years and trying again.
