What is the name of your state? NE
A friend appealed a judgement in which his former girlfriend was given 30% of proceeds from him selling his house. They had lived together, she had ALOT of $ from ex hubby but didnt use it toward house except for flowers....so she testified. My buddy paid for her kids cars and was apparently WAY too generous given the outcome. He had put her name on the house in case he died as he travels alot. (that was a revocable decision but fatal) Anyway judge decided they lived as though they were married (NOT a common law state) so he gave her 30% of sale of the house. Hes appealing but he filed the appeal with a cost bond not a supersedeas bond. We cannot find info as to whats the difference. When do you have to file a supersedeas bond as opposed to a cost bond to appeal? The $'s been held in the court for 3 years cuz she wldn't sign off on sale.
