Do I have to comply with a custody modification decision if and while I appeal?

Anonymous Dec 29, 2014 2 views 1 answers

I have recently completed a trial where my ex has attempted to gain custody of our child. If custody is modified, how long do I have to appeal that decision? Do I have to comply with the new custody arrangement while I wait for the appeal

The typical time for appeal is within 30 days of the order. The answer to complying with the new arrangement would come from the judge. http://www.mass.gov/courts/selfhelp/civil-appeals/appeals-probate.html
