The Illinois Supreme Court has ruled that when a custody decision is rendered, there is no waiting until all the issues are deciding if you want to appeal. Before this ruling, if the parties were arguing over a variety of issues, including custody, no one was allowed to appeal until the final decision was resolved. That meant that parties could be forced to go along with the court's decision for weeks, months, or even years until everything had been addressed in the court.
Now, when the court hands down a custody decision, you have 30 days to decide if you're going to live with it for the next two years, or if you're going to file an appeal.
