ITEM 14G | APPEALING ORDERS IN DEPENDENCY PROCEEDINGS
Appeals from final dependency orders must be filed in accordance with the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure, especially Rule 9.146. To be timely, an appeal notice must be filed within 30 days after rendition of either the order adjudicating a child dependent or 30 days after rendition of the disposition order following the dependency adjudication. The safest thing to do to preserve the right to appeal is to file an original and one copy of the notice of appeal, both with copies of the appealed-from order attached, in the clerk’s office of the trial court within 30 days of rendition of the dependency order and not to wait for the disposition order.
You might need to reference it during your pursuit of justice.
For instance, you might need to examine this handbook in order to protect yourself from judges/lawyers/organizations who break the law (see this example of a Florida judge who outright committed perjury).
Nevertheless – and as always – please get the justice you deserve.
Sincerely,
