This video is about reasonableness as it relates to the issues of attorneyâs fees and costs in a family law case.
These are some examples of where the judge could rule that the other party has to cover the attorneyâs fees and costs in their custody case.
A. If you're representing yourself in your custody trial, then you may have to pay for some or all of the other parties attorneyâs fees and cost.
B. Are the parties being reasonable in their positions. Are they taking positions that cause the case to drag out which will cause extensive litigation.
C. Are you not following the rules regarding discovery? Are you not providing the other side with discovery papers on time or not responding at all?
D. Is the other party offering a settlement offer? Are you attempting to respond with a reasonable settlement offer or attempting to make reasonable settlement offers on your own?
E. Are you exhibiting poor conduct or doing things that the court would frown upon? One example I had in other video when one parent was trying to coach a child to prepare for the childâs court ordered evaluation. As a result he awarded attorneys fees and costs.
F. Is their one party that is making more money than the other? Or is one parent the stay at home parent who doesnât work and whose full time job is taking care of the child? In this case it might be reasonable that the judge will have the party whose income is higher to pay for attorneyâs fees.
These are just a few examples. Itâs important to research the laws in your state or jurisdiction and find out what your laws have to say regarding attorneyâs fees.

I work in McDonalds i will pay the other side with a Coke and Fries...no Cheesburger...thats for the my son.
What if the party refuses to pay from the last order and now filed for a modification and is requesting for me to pay his attorney fees even though he hasnât paid mine.
Once again you've been so helpful đ
hey wendy, I had to hire a lawyer because my daughters mother moved out of state against our joint custody orders, I also had to hire a private investigator & a private process server to find her. can I sue her in small claims court for that?
Thank you again Wendyđ
I wished you were my attorney. Thank you for your videos
I have a question regarding this topic. My wife left the state and wants to me to give her some time and I can not just sit and wait so, I will be getting a lawyer because I want professional help also when she was here she chose not to work or jump from job to job. Am I require to pay for food, place and a lawyer when she goes to court?
okay, is there a amount that has to be paid or a time limit if someone's been ordered to pay but no amount is set? Can an exspouse take you back into court if you are paying the best you can but they want it all up front?
Now there is child support &spousal support and @ 03:53 attorney support. I think the attorney should have to divulge their income to see if they are entitled to support.
What dose it mean when a lawyer refers you to another lawyer
corpus juris sucundum vol 7 --section 4 lawyers does not represent thier clients they are a officer of the court and their first duty is of the court not the client...fact i will not be forced into a contract that violates my constitutional rights..
Hey Wendy I had a question have you ever dealt with a case where you had a father fighting for custody due to the other parent and her husband being suicidal?
