(1) Generally. The filing of a notice of appeal does not suspend an order of the juvenile court, and execution of the order is not stayed while the appeal is pending, unless the appellate court suspends the order or stays the execution.

(2) Request for Stay. A party may file a motion in the appellate court requesting a stay of the order after a notice of appeal has been filed. The filing party must state in that motion whether other parties stipulate or object to staying the order while the appeal is pending.

(3) Factors. In deciding whether to stay a juvenile court order, the appellate court may consider the best interests of the child, the likelihood that the order will be reversed, and any other relevant legal or equitable matters. If the juvenile court order requires restitution, its clerk will hold monies paid for restitution until the appellate court issues its mandate.

(1) Requirement. When required by law, the juvenile court or the appellate court must appoint an attorney for a party to an appeal from a final juvenile court order.

(2) Party with Appointed Counsel in the Juvenile Court. The juvenile court or the appellate court may order the attorney who had been appointed in the juvenile court proceedings to continue representing that party on appeal, unless the juvenile court or appellate court finds that the party is currently able to employ counsel. Either court may also appoint a different attorney for a party to an appeal.

(3) Party Without Appointed Counsel in the Juvenile Court. A party who did not have appointed counsel in the juvenile court may request appointed counsel on appeal by filing a request in the juvenile court no later than 10 days after the notice of appeal is filed. If the juvenile court denies the party's request for appointed counsel, the party may request the appellate court to appoint counsel.

(1) the appellate court has specifically authorized or directed the juvenile court to rule on the issue;

(2) the juvenile court's ruling on the issue would be in furtherance of the appeal;

(3) a statute or court rule confers continuing jurisdiction on the juvenile court; or

(4) the juvenile court's ruling on the issue would not legally or practically prevent the appellate court from granting the relief requested on appeal.
