Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota

i need to appeal the order and judgement entered against me regarding post dissolution matter my wife brought against me. our divorce was final approx 1 year ago but she filed an ex parte motion and affidavit of attorneys fee's. because i couldnt afford an attorney and she was represented things did not go well for me and she was granted everything she asked for tho statements she made and info given was false. . .she lied thru her teeth ended up with my motorcycle, an additional $20, 000 all her attorney fee's paid by me and access to any equity and actual posession of the home i now own and live in. her attorney recently sent me an order served upon me for the purpose of of limiting the timeline in which i can even appeal the decision. is there any way for me to file such and appeal and any other necessary stuff by myself? im currently unemployed and at witts end but would like my chance to show that she gave false info and the judgement was totally unfair. i can support my position with documentation proving my position but i have no idea where to start and prob dont stand a chance against her lawyers. thanks for any help or advice you might offer me so much----mike

You have 30 days to apeal from service of the order. However, an appeal to the Court of Appeals is based on the evidence submnitted in court. You cannot submit any new evidence. It is based entirely on the transcript and evidence submitted in the District Court Hearing,
