Understanding Attorney Fees: What You Need to Know
Attorney Fees
Hi there, this is Jay Bills, I’m the Okmulgee attorney. I’m here today to talk to you about what happens when I frequently ask questions in consultations about attorney fees. And do they have to pay, or sometimes in the petition they’ll say that they want you to pay for their attorney fees, and people get all upset that they think they automatically, that means they’re gonna have to pay for their attorney fees.
I assure you that’s not the case. Attorney fees don’t get awarded that often in these matters, especially in family and custody matters. There are specific elements listed in the statute that require before one party’s gonna have to pay for the other party’s attorneys.
Understanding Attorney Fee Awards
When it comes to attorney fees, it’s important to understand that they are not automatically awarded in legal cases. In family and custody matters, specifically, there are certain requirements that need to be met before one party can be ordered to pay the other party’s attorneys.
These requirements are outlined in the applicable statute and serve as a guide for the court when determining whether attorney fee awards are appropriate. It’s crucial to have a clear understanding of these elements in order to properly assess the likelihood of attorney fee awards in your case.
