That depends on the strength of the case when appealing. The court has the responsibility of determining what is in the best interests of the child when determining custody. The onus is on the non-custodial parent to convince the court that the original order was in error. So can an appeal be won, yes it can, but not without very good reason. Appellate timelines move quickly almost everywhere, so it is important that you have good legal representation as well as good reasons (backed up with documentation) why you would be a better custodial parent, not just because you think you would be so.
