                             CHILD PROTECTIVE ACT
    16-1625.  APPEAL -- EFFECT ON CUSTODY. (1) An aggrieved party may appeal
the following orders or decrees of the court to the district court within
thirty (30) days of the filing of such order or decree:
    (a)  An adjudicatory decree entered pursuant to section 16-1619, Idaho
    Code;
    (b)  Any order subsequent to the adjudicatory decree that vests legal
    custody of the child in the department or other authorized agency;
    (c)  Any order subsequent to the adjudicatory decree that authorizes or
    mandates the department to cease reasonable efforts to make it possible to
    return the child to his home, including an order finding that the parent
    subjected the child to aggravated circumstances as set forth in section
    16-1619(6)(d), Idaho Code; or
    (d)  An order of dismissal.
    (2)  Where the order affects the custody of a child, the appeal shall be
heard at the earliest practicable time. The pendency of an appeal shall not
suspend the order of the court regarding a child, and it shall not discharge
the child from the legal custody of the authorized agency to whose care he has
been committed, unless otherwise ordered by the district court. No bond or
undertaking shall be required of any party appealing to the district court
under the provisions of this section. Any final order or judgment of the
district court shall be appealable to the supreme court of the state of Idaho
in the same manner as appeals in other civil actions. The filing of the notice
of appeal shall not, unless otherwise ordered, stay the order of the district
court.
