sfzombie 3 #1 February 15, 2012 i thought that if you had 20 days to file an appeal, you could have it heard by the court. my girlfriend filed a dvp on her ex and lost the dogs. we got a lawyer, he said the law changed last year, that the petitioner gets the pets if it is upheld. it was, and the judge crossed out petitioner, and wrote in respondent on the pre-printed form, and the lawyer said she had a solid case for appeal. he filed it, but we found out that the judge denied it, said he wouldn't hear the case. this sounds wrong to me, especially since the law clearly states that she should have won. can anyone explain this to me? we're in wv, by the way. it was a family court magistrate the first time, circuit court the appeal was filed with. thanx.http://kitswv.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
