Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Re: Motion to Modify Judgment of Alimony

You have 10 days from entry of the Order to file a Motion for Reconsideration in the Circuit Court where the case was heard (this tolls the period for filing in the Court of Special Appeals). If you missed this deadline, you can file concurrent Motions to Revise (within 30 days of the Order) and a Notice of Appeal to the Court of Special Appeals. If they revise the Order in Circuit Court, you can drop the more costly CSA appeal. Our firm regularly handles appellate work (both Circuit Court and CSA) in family law matters ... I currently have an alimony case pending there, in fact. If you need assistance, please contact us.

Re: Motion to Modify Judgment of Alimony

Once a judge determines not to award alimony, your only recourse is to file an appeal within 30 days of the entry of the judgment. The appeals court will not overrule the trial judge unless he/she made a legal error in applying the law or in a ruling on the admissibility of evidence. In other words, the trial judge has considerable discretion in these matters.
