We filed a motion for reconsideration in regards to a judge awarding the other party attorneys fees over 3 months ago. The due date for the payment was the 31st of December. The reason we filed the motion is because Mother was requesting credit for attorneys fees that another judge already denied her. We have yet to receive a ruling on this matter and were wondering how long it usually takes to get a response. The matter was brought up the last time we were in court by her attorney and the judge told him that he would not make a ruling until her lawyer had a chance to respond to our motion. Do we just have to keep waiting for her lawyer to type up a response and if he never does one does it mean that we still owe the money since the judge has not squashed the order. The amount is over 3k and we cannot afford it nor do we think it is fair to pay it when almost all of it is from an incident over the summer that was ruled in our favor and the judge denied her the fees for.
