5-38 Appellate Jurisdiction
▪
Any other person granted interested party status by the court
from which the appeal is being taken. K.S.A. 59-2401a(e).
As in decedent’s estate cases, the order appealed from continues
in force unless modified by temporary orders entered by the appellate
court and is not stayed by a supersedeas bond filed under K.S.A. 60-2103.
K.S.A. 59-2401a(c). Also, the court from which the appeal is taken may
require a party, other than the State of Kansas or any subdivision thereof
or any city or county in this state, to file a bond of sufficient sum or surety
“to ensure that the appeal will be prosecuted without unnecessary delay”
and to ensure payment of all judgments, damages or costs. K.S.A. 59-
2401a(d).
§ 5.23 Juvenile Proceedings
Under the Revised Kansas Code for Care of Children, an appeal can
be taken by any party or interested party from any order of temporary
custody, adjudication, disposition, finding of unfitness or termination of
parental rights. K.S.A. 38-2273(a). An appeal must be taken within thirty
days of the date the order was filed. See In re D.I.G., 34 Kan. App. 2d 34,
36, 114 P.3d 173 (2005). K.S.A. 38-2202(v) defines a party as “the state,
the petitioner, the child and any parent of the child.” K.S.A. 38-2202(m)
defines an interested party as “the grandparent of the child, a person with
whom the child has been living for a significant period of time when the
child in need of care petition is filed, and any person made an interested
party by the court under K.S.A. 38-2241 and amendments thereto.”
