Form 5b Notice of Appeal: General

When a juvenile court makes a decision that someone disagrees with, they can appeal it to a higher court. This form is used to officially tell the court and the other people involved in the case that you are appealing. You must file this form within the time limit set by the rules, or you may lose your right to appeal.

The form asks for basic information about the case, like the names of the people involved and the case number. You also need to describe which court order or decision you are appealing. After you file the form, the court clerk sends copies to the other parties in the case.
