As previously discussed in an earlier #FamilyFriday article, the Court, upon request, will schedule a Pendente Lite <\/em>(PL) hearing<\/a> while the parties wait for their final hearing.\u00a0 What happens if you disagree with the Court\u2019s order for Pendente Lite<\/em> relief?\u00a0 What if the Court denies any Pendente Lite<\/em> relief?\u00a0 On this week\u2019s #FamilyFriday article, the attorneys of ERA Law Group, LLC discuss the process for filing Exceptions.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, Pendente Lite<\/em> is a Latin term that translates to \u201cawaiting\/pending the litigation.\u201d\u00a0 Maryland Courts use a Pendente Lite<\/em> hearing as an opportunity to create a temporary order related to child support, custody, visitation, spousal support, and\/or use and possession of the marital home while the parties await the final hearing on the merits.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t have an arrangement, aren\u2019t seeing your child, aren\u2019t receiving child support, etc., you will want to be sure a Pendente Lite <\/em>hearing is scheduled as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

In most counties this hearing takes place before a Magistrate.\u00a0 A Magistrate takes the place of a Judge but don\u2019t issue Orders.\u00a0 They issue Proposed Orders.\u00a0 At the PL hearing, the Magistrate will hear the case presented by both parties as to why there should or should not be temporary relief and, if so, how much is fair and reasonable.\u00a0 The Magistrate then states their finding and submits a Proposed Order<\/a>.\u00a0 After 10 days, the Proposed Order is sent to a Circuit Court Judge for a signature effectively making the Proposed Order an Order.<\/p>\n

Why the 10 days?\u00a0 At the conclusion of the PL hearing, both parties have 10 days to file \u201cExceptions.\u201d\u00a0 Exceptions are written reason(s) why the Magistrate\u2019s Proposed Order should not be signed by the Judge.\u00a0 For example, perhaps the Magistrate decided to award more child support than the paying party believes is fair.\u00a0 The paying party would have 10 days to file Exceptions detailing why the Magistrate\u2019s ruling should not be adopted by the Judge.<\/p>\n

The Exceptions process is very similar to an appeal and should not be taken lightly.\u00a0 There are many requirements involving the timing of the filing<\/a>, the contents of the Exceptions, the timing for requesting a Transcript, the hearing, etc.\u00a0 By failing to file timely exceptions or abiding by the statute, you could lose your ability to challenge the Proposed Order.<\/p>\n
