the exact time limit to file and appeal in High Court against a divorce decree from lower Court is 90 days.. the counting commences from the date of decree provided you get a certified copy on that very day. or else from the date of the certified copy getting ready provided your applied it on the day of judgement.

Dear Madam, There is still confusion whether it is thirty days as per Family Courts Act are 90 days as usual. Better to file within 30 days from the date of receipt of certified copies. If there is any delay better to file application under Section 5 of Limitation Act for condonation of delay.
