What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? OR
Hello, my ex and I recently went to court because he decided he no longer agreed with the court order for custody/visitation of our child. The judge told my lawyer to be sure to file for legal fees. Now my ex has filed and stated that a hearing should be held because he can show that he should not have to pay my legal fees, furthermore that he can prove that he had evidence (deemed inadmissible by the judge during trial) that can validate his motion.
Can he request a hearing for the attorney fees issue? I am also wondering if he can use a hearing to contest paying my attorney fees to have the court re-rule on his original motion (he is asking that his original motion now be granted as he has solid evidence to support his original motion) ? I spent all the money I had on this last trip through court and it hasn't even been 2 months since the ruling. I really don't want to end up going through the exact same thing again. Thank you for any advice.
