The judge who last month ordered Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera to pay his ex-mistress $20,000 a month in child support is reconsidering the judgment, according to an order issued Thursday.

Alan S. Apte, a circuit judge in Orange County, Fla., wrote, in part:

"Upon reviewing the testimony, exhibitions in evidence, arguments of counsel, and the proposed Final Judgments submitted by the parties, the Court exercises its inherent authority to recoonsider a matter before the entry of a written Final Judgment."

Apte ruled in January that Cabrera, 35, would have to pay Belkis Mariela Rodriguez $20,000 a month in child support for two children, one boy and one girl, they had together.
