There has been a family dispute for which the order(divorce and custody) has been issued on 30-Aug-2018 by family court. Both divorce and custody application are applied by my husband 4 years before I have few questions with respect to that 1) How much time i have to appeal it with high court? 2) Usually how much time it takes to the case numbered in High court once applied? 3) The permanent custody order declares my husband(or ex dunno) as legal and natural guardian and i holding the custody. What the means? I don't have any decision making authority on my son's education and studies? 4) The judge has disposed the permanent custody by giving the interim custody to me for 6 months and allowing my husband to apply for new interim application in the main OP of permanent custody . Is it legal? How can the inerim application allowed when the main case itself disposed? There is already an high court direction on this matter to family court to dispose the main OP and i am having exclusive custody of my son for 1.5 years and i have produces enough education records. According to me the main OP is not disposed. 5) If i appeal this to high court, does the lower court order automatically stayed or should i need s separate stay order? 6)Can i apply for permanent custody in the high court? 7) If i have to change my lawyer what are the things i need from my previous lawyer?
