Family law has special rules for attorney fees. Unlike any other area of law, family law allows for each party to have equal access to legal representation throughout all stages of the proceedings. This means, by way of motion, the court will determine if it is necessary based on an income and needs assessment for one party to pay for or contribute to the other party’s attorney fees. The court looks at whether there is a disparity in access to funds to retain counsel, and whether one party is able to pay for legal representation of both parties. If you want to maximize your dollar then come to the best. Blagof Law Firm has a history of success in both defending and request attorney fee awards. Call us today to discuss your case.
