If your hearing occurred before a family court commissioner, you have an automatic right under the statute to file a de novo appeal to the trial court assigned to the case. Since the statute, in it's current state, offers no time line for the appeal, the time line is governed by local court rules. You will need to check the local court rules in the county where the order was entered to determine how much time you have to appeal. If your hearing was held in front of the trial judge, than your only means to appeal is to the Court of Appeals. The time line for such appeal is 90 days from the time the written order is issued. The time line can be shortened to 45 days to appeal, if proper notice is provided shortening the time line.
