We are sorry to hear about this. To appeal a court decision, you generally have to file a notice of appeal with the court within a certain amount of time (which varies by jurisdiction). However, if you are looking to stay the judgment while negotiating a settlement, you may want to file a motion for a stay of judgment with the court. This would essentially ask the court to pause or delay the enforcement of the judgment while you negotiate a settlement.

While I cannot provide you with a form, you can typically find examples of motions for a stay of judgment online, or you can consult with an attorney who can assist you in drafting the motion. It is important to keep in mind that a motion for a stay of judgment is not guaranteed to be granted, and you will need to present a compelling argument to the court as to why the stay is necessary.

In addition to filing a motion for a stay of judgment, you may also want to continue negotiating with the other party to reach a settlement. Once a settlement is reached, you can then file a motion to vacate the judgment and have the case dismissed.
