Can I recover the attorneys fee
I pay from the other party? |
|
If a trial is necessary,
the Court may order either party to pay some (but usually not all) of the
other party's legal fees.
As our client, you are responsible for paying our agreed fees
and we will give you full credit for any payments made by your spouse. The
power to award attorneys’ fees is solely in the discretion of the court and
the award of any attorneys’ fees cannot be relied upon with any certainty. Regardless of any
award of attorneys’ fees by the Court and regardless of any agreement between
the parties regarding payment by an adverse party of any part or the whole of
the attorneys’ fees incurred by you, you remain indebted and responsible to
the firm for the full amount of Attorney’s fees and expenses incurred. If a motion to
enforce custody, residency, parenting time or visitation rights is filed
under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act and the
court finds that the other party has interfered with those rights, the court
is required to award attorneys fees and costs to the person filing the motion
to enforce. |
