Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland
I went before a master for child support modification and my request was denied and she told me to file an exception and I was wondering how I do this

Once the Master's Report is issued you have 10 days to file written exceptions in the case file, explaining why the master's ruling should be overturned by a judge. You should understand that the Master has considerable discretion in these matters, and unless he/she made a clear legal error or based the decision on evidence not in the court record, you will be unsuccessful. It would be a good idea to consult with an experienced family attorney before deciding whether to undertake this. If you contact the bar association in the county where the case is filed, you can get a very inexpensive consultation.
