• juvenile code reveals the legislative intent for juvenile court to maintain jurisdiction during pen-dency of appeal to entertain child’s request for status report and review hearing
• “The general rule is that the trial court loses jurisdiction over the merits of the controversy when an appeal is perfected.”
• where father’s acknowledgment of paternity came only after a suit for support was filed and blood tests taken and father had never petitioned for custody or visitation
• “We construe section 675.40 as placing sole custody of a child born out of wedlock with the mother unless the father steps forward and acknowledges paternity of the child within a reasonable time. Once acquired, the mother retains sole custody until a court orders otherwise.”
