Father had all temporary rights and custody and at trial judge ruled for mother. How can we appeal?

There needs to be a legal and factual basis for an appeal to succeed. What if anything has changed in the last two months to suggest that the best interests of the child are served in having a different custody ruling? Your post does nothing to suggest that an appeal would meet the criteria. Those social study recommendations are just that, recommendations.

Check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details.

Good luck to you.

God bless.
