How do I challenge a judge's fuling?

Question Details: Hello, I am located in Indianapolis, Indiana, I originally filed for joint custody of my daughter in Anderson, Indiana a little more then 2 years ago. I was awarded joint legal custody and the mother was given full physical custody. About 4 months ago I had to file a contempt of court order against her because she hadn't allowed me visitation with my daughter for a year. I was unable to retain an attorney for the hearing so, I filed a motion to have the hearing continued. My reasoning for requesting the continuance was so I obtain the neccessary funds to hire an attorney. That motion was denied and the hearing was held against my opposition to paticipating without an attorney. The hearing ended up not being very favorable for me. The judge ended the hearing by stating that he would take the information under advisement and render his decision at a later date. It has taken him 2 months to make a dicision. He ruled in the mother's favor, finding her not in contempt. Disregarding the proof that I told him that I had to prove that she wouldn't allow me visitation. I am running out of time to challenge his decision. My question is, how and where do I file for an extension to challenge his ruling?
