Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

re-hearing/re-trial

is there a specific time period to request a re-trial? In oct. 2007 i was found guilty in a show cause heariin on failure to pay full child support. Intntionally the obligee refused to submit over $10,000 paid directly to her through my former employers. It has taken me this long to recover archived checks through the ADP wage garnishment department from California. Plus other employer. These payments were ordered through a wage withholding order which the obligee also refused to notify the CSEA and the courts. very long complicated story. anyway, during the trial the only document that was submitted was an audit that the CSEA performed and not showing these direct payments. it has also taken me this long due to other issues refering to this case. Also if i do request a re-trial/re-hearing do I write to the Judge or the courts?

Re: re-hearing/re-trial

You will have to file a motion for reconsideration with the court, not the judge. However, due to the long passage of time your chances aren't good. You should have subpoenaed the wage garnishment records in time for the earlier court hearing.
