California - My brother's ex-wife filed for divorce in 12/06. In 01/07, they went to mediation and agreed on custody and terms for divorce. When they went into court to have the judgment approved by the judge, the ex-wife changed her mind. At that point they were each in debt to their attorneys for about $3K. Since then she has tried various legal steps attempting unsuccessfully to get full custody of my niece and racking up attorney fees along the way for my brother. The judge denied all attempts and appointed an attorney for my niece which cost an additional $5K. Now, 16 months later, she has agreed to the original custody agreement from mediation. Unfortunately my brother now has to pay $20K in attorney fees. Can he ask for the court to make her pay some of this because of her shenanigans? If so, how would he do that?
