If you have just lost a child arrangements hearing, you may feel overwhelmed — but you may also have the right to appeal. Appeals in the Family Court are not about re-arguing your case. They focus on legal error, procedural unfairness, or a decision that was plainly wrong. Strict deadlines apply: in most cases, the appellant’s notice must be filed within 21 days. Permission to appeal is usually required, and the correct route depends on who made the original order. This guide explains the appeal test, the correct forms (FP161 or N161), service requirements, and how to apply for a stay pending appeal. If you are within the appeal window, understanding the process quickly and accurately is critical.
