The mother needs to make a motion for reconsideration pursuant to Maryland Rule 2-534 I believe. It should be done within 10 days of the entry of the order. Or you could file for exceptions within 10 days of the hearing. There is also another appeal (within the Circuit Court) that gives the litigant 30 days.
