Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Filing a motion to vacate?

I filed a motion of contempt against the ex for unpaid child support including childcare, health insurance and medical related costs. The magistrate found in my favor in all areas except for the medical related costs noting in the written order that I ''failed to adduce any documentary evidence''. I had a stack if every receipt in the hearing room but the magistrate never made reference to that portion of my motion!I had written back up of everything but she only took my testimony and then did not ask any questions pertaining to the medical expense part of my motion. Will a motion to vacate re-open the case so I can bring this to light? Is there a time limit to filing the motion to vacate?
