Re: child support

Yes. If the ruling was by a master, you can file exceptions within 10 days and the case will be heard by a circuit court judge. If the ruling was by a judge, you can appeal to the appeals court within 30 days. However, you should understand that the decisions of the trial judge or master are given great deference and unless a legal error was made you probably won't be successful. If you didn't have legal representation in this case, you should arrange a consultation with an experienced family law attorney, who can review your case in detail and better advise you if it's worthwhile to appeal. The lawyer referral service of your county bar association can refer you to such attorneys, who will see you for a very modest fee.
