Face, and prepare to endure, the sentence of the court -or - appeal the case to the Court of Appeals.
I would bring the case to state court, because if you bring the case to federal court it can't be heard again, but if you bring the case to state court then, if you lose, the case be appealed and heard again, if they chose to hear it, in supreme court then it can't be heard again if you lose again in supreme court.
File an appeal with the US Court of Appeals for that circuit.
If you are not satisfied with the verdict, and you (and/or your attorney) believe you have sufficient grounds for an appeal, you can try appealing the verdict to the state court of appeals.
A court of appeals is a court of appellate jurisdiction. This is in contrast to a court of original jurisdiction. If I get in a car wreck and want to sue, I would file my lawsuit in the trial court (whether state or federal), a court of original jurisdiction. Say I lose. I get one appeal as of right to the court of appeals. In most states, that is called the court of appeals or appellate division (or the circuit court of appeals in the federal system) There judges would review my case to be sure the decision at trial was proper. If I lose again, I could petition my State's supreme court (or the US supreme court if I was in federal court) for what is called certiorari (which just means I am asking them to hear my case). The Supreme Court is not required to hear my case, but if they do, that would be the final word on whatever issue I presented to that court in most cases.

A court of appeals gives you the opportunity to get a second opinion so-to-speak when you lose a case in a lower court.
The plaintiff decides. However, there are two main exceptions: If it is over $5000, it must be tried in county court. And, if the Defendant wishes, he or she may remove the case from Small Claims court to county or district court where he or she may be represented by an attorney. Be careful, if you file in small claims court and it is removed, you will lose the right to trial by jury.
Not usually. You just lose the case.
Not typically. According to the Social Security Administration, the highest level of appeal for Social Security Disability cases is US District Court, unless your case involves a preserved federal question. If you lose in District Court, you can file a new claim with the Administration, but the clock restarts at zero. For more information on the Social Security appeals process, see Related Links, below.
If the plaintiff does not appear in court, the case may be dismissed or a default judgment may be entered in favor of the defendant. The plaintiff may lose the opportunity to present their case and the court may rule in favor of the defendant by default.
if you are not there for the original custody case you can lose custody. The temporary is just until the court decides who gets custody.
