A:
You have a right to appeal a court's decision. It must be filed within 30 days of your first hearing, in the same courthouse as the first. (The appeal will be heard by the Superior court). The last I heard the filing fee was $250. You can get the paperwork for filing from the court clerk. Appeals can run several more levels as well, up to the state Supreme Court.
As to the question of if you have an appealable issue, that I can not say. appeals focus on errors of law, not errors of fact. To determine if there is an error of of the law was applied, an attorney would need not only all the evidence that the judge used in rendering their decision, but a transcript of the hearing itself, in order to hear what arguments were made and if they were properly done. Arguments, motions or other points, if not or improperly made, can not be used on appeal.
Attorneys generally have a much higher success rate than persons who represent themselves do.
