Ricardo R. Rivero's appeal against the circuit court's denial of his motions to challenge jurisdiction and to seek relief from a void judgment was unsuccessful. The motions were aimed at overturning a 2005 order that found him in arrears of over $14,000 for child support and mandated ongoing payments. The court affirmed the denial of his postjudgment relief requests, emphasizing that he has made numerous unsuccessful attempts since 2005 to evade his child support obligations through various legal proceedings in both state and federal courts. Rivero's efforts have consistently failed to present claims warranting relief from the original support order. The court cautioned Rivero against further repetitious and frivolous filings, warning that continued abuse of the judicial process could lead to sanctions. Judges Silberman and Black concurred with the decision.
