Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Filling an Objection

On March 4, 2003 a hearing examiner dismissed a petition for downward modification of child support due to change in circumstances, loss of employment. I complied with all the courts orders and went thru the STEP program who was unable to help me find employment and recommended that I get more trainig. I found out that the hearing examiner did not file the order of dismissal until July 5, 2003 approximately 4 1/2 months later. I did not receive a copy of that order. Can I still file an objection to this order?

Re: Filling an Objection

Maybe. It depends upon when you were Served or Received NOTICE of the Entry of the Judgment or Denial Order; your reasons, if any, for not acting expeditiously, etc., Write the appeal and seek to reopen the case, if you have good grounds and your case has merit. Your motion can be appealed, if denied.

Good luck,
