Filing an Appeal is a technical and difficult task, even for an attorney, and you need to hire one to protect your rights. The problem is that an appeal is a "review of the record" of the trial, and what you are mentioning in your post is the evidence that you should have put on at... View More

Be sure to go to court on October 29, or the Court can rule without you. This does not appear to be an Appeal or Civil Rights case. Contact the people that notified you about the civil demand to see what the status is.

Consequently, the odds the state supreme court will accept your case are... View More

First, I am not a CA lawyer. But as I recall, the Supreme Court of CA is the state's highest appellate court. If that's correct, the only option available is to appeal to the US Supreme Court--by writ of certiorari in the first instance.

First, I am not a CA lawyer. But it seems that the "order" IS a final judgment, thus you can appeal this order to the next level. Whether the appeal is de novo OR on the record, I can't tell.

How is this an immigration question? It seems like a matter that involves child custody. You may have rights, but may lose them if this is your child.
I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent California domestic relations attorney that handles child custody issues. Good luck!

You said the fiduciary was court appointed. Did you get notice of the ex parte hearing? More facts would be needed to determine if you have any recourse. Seek counsel for a private consultation so that you can provide all the facts of your situation for a thorough evaluation.
