93-9-41 - Appeals. - Mississippi Statutes

§ 93-9-41. Appeals.
 

An appeal in all cases may be taken by the defendant, a guardian ad litem appointed by the court for the child, the mother or her personal representative, or the public welfare official, from any final order or judgment of any court having jurisdiction of filiation proceedings, as provided for in Sections 93-9-1 through 93-9-49, directly to the supreme court within thirty (30) days after the entry of said order of judgment. 
 

No appeal however shall operate as a stay of execution unless the defendant shall give the security provided for in Sections 93-9-1 through 93-9-49, and further security to pay the costs of such appeal. If any such appeal shall be taken by a guardian ad litem, appointed for the child by the court, the court may in its discretion allow payment, for the actual disbursements made by the said guardian ad litem for taking appeal. When allowed by the judge and duly audited, said disbursement shall become a county charge and shall be paid by the county.
