Our divorce judge has ruled that I must pay up front, my STBE's legal fees of over 10k.
Out situation is
me 117k, 2 kids, house and college costs
her 40 -50k no dependents, rent
The judge knows the ex has walked away from all financial obligations 3 years ago when she moved out. I literally cannot afford to do this with all the expenses i have, plus I refuse to sacrifice my kids education for something as unfair as this. The courts have all my financial data, but for some reason they try to make 117k sound like I've hit lotto.
My question is, can I appeal or contest the decision that requires me to pay all of her costs
