What is the name of your state? Colorado
I am in the process of going to court in reference to my daughter -- my ex is trying to get custody of my daughter, and we have already tried the mediation route, and it failed terribly. I was just wondering, could i request that he pay 1/2 of attorneys fees if i had one? We didn't have to pay for any fees court wise yet with the papers we had to file, (back in august) - and the court paid for our mediation. Lawyers are unfortunately expensive, and already tried to get one pro bono, but i didn't qualify. What are the chances of me getting 1/2 of the attorneys fees paid by him? ( He was the one that filed the papers first to get custody of our daughter, and i filed papers 2 days in regards to our situation) Please advise. Thanks. I am currently the primary residential parent, and my daughter has lived with me since she was born, he gets every other weekend, and supposed to take every other tuesday - but hasn't since my daughter started school back in August... just to give some background.
