What is the name of your state? California


Can somone be awarded reimbursment for attorney fee's when they did not pay the attorney fee's?
Say, for example, their parents paid for the attorney.

Yes. The prevailing party can ask the court to award attorney fees (if allowed by the cause of action). If the court grants them, they will be added to the judgment (as a separate entry). The judgment doesn't specify who gets the fees. If the attorney does collect the fee, it will then be up to him to compensate the payer (the parents).

They can stipulate to have them forfeited at anytime, correct?
For example, if she doesn't want a specific video posted, she can have in writting that she forfeit the attorney fee's in return the video does not get posted and/or viewed.

That sounds like extortion.

The attorney fee's were awarded to her due to her attorney being "buddies" with the so called judge. With witnesses that couldn't keep their story straight, and an evaluator who kept on changing his story on the stand.
Fine, without using the "tape" she claimed she never did (on the stand) can we try to appeal the decision on the attorney fee's?

Frankly, you're tainted to me due to this thread. You can hire an attorney to ask your questions.
