“"[Section 26-12-8, Ala. Code 1975,] was construed in the case of LeFlore v. State ex rel. Moore , 288 Ala. 310 , 260 So.2d 581 (1972), where it was said that an appeal is not a matter of vested right, but by the grace of statute, and must be perfected pursuant to the time and manner prescribed in the controlling statute, and if the requirements of such statute are not met, the appeal must be dismissed. "In the present case, the clerk of the family court would have been the proper filing officer. Filing cannot be complete until notice is delivered to the proper filing officer. Moutry v. State , 359 So.2d 388 (Ala.Civ.App. 1978); Rule 5(e), [Ala.]R.[Civ.]P. "Because of defendant's failure to timely file notice of appeal with the clerk of the family court in accordance with the statute, the circuit court's jurisdiction never attached, and the trial court properly dismissed defendant's appeal."”
