In appeals from final judgments for child custody, you have 15 days from the date shown in the clerk's certificate of distribution at the bottom of the final judgment, decree or decision to file a Notice of Appeal.
Enforcement of the judgment is stayed automatically for 30 days from the date of mailing in order to give time for the defendant to either file an appeal or a motion to vacate. This means that the plaintiff cannot collect the judgment for 30 days from the date it is mailed out. Even if the judge gave the judgment in open court, the plaintiff must wait 30 days from the date the judgment form is mailed out to the parties before starting collection efforts.
