Can a step parent be held liable for their spouses attorney fees in a custody dispute with their ex? My husband's lawyer sued me for his attorney fees in his custody dispute with his ex. He was not my lawyer and it was not my lawsuit.

I'm sorry, US law only.

ETA: You list your location as Missouri. So, I'll ask: When your husband retained the lawyer, did you sign anything in his office?

Lovely. This is the overstepping stepmom who kept referring to the children as HERS and stating SHE had custody of the stepchildren and she was going to let HER daughter make the decision of whether the child wanted to live with her and her husband or the child's actual mother.

This is hilarious. YOU were so overstepping at the time and now that there is a financial cost, you want NOTHING to do with it? HA HA HA HA HA HA. This is completely and totally entertaining. Thought the child was also YOUR daughter. :rolleyes:
