A: In Family Court, a party can file exceptions to a Magistrate's report within ten days after the report is signed by the magistrate. Then the exceptions are heard by the Judge and a transcript must be provided so the Judge can make a determination on whether or not the exceptions will be granted or denied. If the exceptions are denied, the Judge signs an order adopting the Magistrate's report. If your Husband did not show up to the hearing, the exceptions may be denied, but that would depend on his reasons for not being there and many other factors. As to your immigration portion of the question, please consult with an immigration attorney as to how this delay may affect your situation.
