Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in California

Extraordinary Writ

My soon to be ex-wife requested in court today that the orders be STAY, which the Judge denied. I have physical custody of my kids. She is appealing the custody order and I just found out that is going to file a Writ. I'm a good Dad and I don't want to loose custody of my kids. Would someone please tell me if I can oppose to the Writ when she fiels it and how much does this cost?.How long does a custody related Writ take?. Any advice will be gteatly appreciated. Thank you

Re: Extraordinary Writ

You do not have to oppose a writ unless invited to do so by the appellate court. Most people who apply for writs receive data mailers informing them their petitions are denied.
