I am in Louisiana. I have filed for an appeal in my divorce/custody case. I am appealing the Judge increasing the time for my ex with the kids. I am also appealing transfer of my kids to another school.
There is a provision in the Judgement from the trial court that if the kids are not doing good after 4 months, I can go back to the trial court to review custody. The kids are not doing good - they are failng in school. They hate the new school. So, I asked my atty to file in the trial court to change the custody back to the way it was, as well as to move them to the old school. He says that since I filed for an appeal on those very issues, I can't ask the trial court to change the custody becasue the appealate court has the jurisdiction now. Please, tell me if he is right? I talked to another atty who said that that's not correct, I could still go to the trial court. Oh, and the appeal hasn't started yet. We just filed and the trial court is getting the paperwork together.
Thanks
