Does anyone know if attorney fees become joint debt or is each party responsible for their own attorney fees?

Thanks

While I agree with Seniorjudge....I have never seen attorney fees classified as "joint" debt. Generally either each party pays their own fees, or the judge orders one of the parties to pay the other party's attorney fees....or part of the other party's attorney fees.
