Claim for legal bills

Minnesota

My ex has a benefactor paying her legal bills for her, which is documented. I have filed a motion that I may or may not win to modify support, her attorney is threatening me that if I lose they will then ask me to pay her fees. I have tried to negotiate, and they refuse, which is also documented. This isn't just asking to talk, it is making legitimate good-faith offers, which are outright rejected with no counters, and a refusal to talk at all about any of the issues. They are forcing it to court, not me, do I have any recourse on the legal bill thing since she actually isn't paying for it?

Thank you.

Thank you.
That'll be up to the judge. My guess? Not bloody likely.

Wow, amazing how some people can't read, comprehend, or research a simple question. It's also amazing how some people can't handle petty little issues and need big daddy court system to tell them what to do and how to do it...

All I did was answer your q. And another q. Despite the fact that you did NO research on your own. YOU are the one that got all BENT out of shape, dude.

Calm down. I'm not your xwife.

ok...Dude

I have done my research. I have done my web searches. I can handle the petty issues. I also am specifically here to try to avoid "big daddy court" as you put it.

Not sure what your issue with me is, or perhaps it is just the way you answer all of the posts out there, but it seems that you are the one with some issues to be dealt with.

As I said before, my momma told me you get what you pay for, I guess I shouldn't have expected much for free. Thanks for proving my momma right.

-sheesh!

If that's the case, then have your Mom call around to find you a nice lawyer who will answer your questions.

You won't get a decent response with an attitude.

Thanks to all....

Ok then. I apparently have an attitude.

Not to worry all, won't bother with another post.

Unbelievable!
