Call an attorney that specializes in civil rights. You are not likely to get information that can help you on a public forum.

You file a notice of appeal in the court that ruled, and then perfect the appeal in the Appellate Division. It is expensive, and you are very unlikely to succeed. Factual issues are only overturned if arbitrary, and custody matters are all factual.
We moved here 2 months ago and our kids are doing great in schools. We applied for the vaccine exemptions as we have the last 9 years and we were denied because the school district claims we weren't sincere in our religious beliefs.
