My child's father took me to court a year and a half ago because he wanted visitation and shared parenting. I had to hire a high price attorney for this case. Long story short, we have been battling in court up until yesterday. In the past 4 months he willingly submitted to a drug test in court and failed with flying colors and got visitation taken away from him, requested a psychological evaluation on me and then violated the court order by not paying for it, and yesterday he didn't even show up for the trial. The judge dismissed everything leaving me with sole custody of my daughter and no rights for him (thank god), and an extremely high attorney bill. Can I go after him for all my attorney fees since he was the one who started this and ultimately ended it by not showing up? If it were not for him I would never have needed to obtain an attorney. Any advice would be helpful.
