Re: Proper court jurisdiction for Family Law Judgment Appeal?

All appeals taken from any branch of the Los Angeles Superior Court go to the Court of Appeal for the Second Appellate District (although in an exceptional case, such as where a justice of that court is party to the lawsuit, it might get reassigned elsewhere). The Second District is divided into seven divisions, and will probably soon have two more. The assignment to a particular division, however, is done after the appeal is filed and is an internal matter for the court to handle.
