Recovered Attorneys Fees for Deliberate Divorce Delays

Divorce can cause even the most reasonable people to behave in atypical ways, such as filing frivolous motions to intentionally delay a case's progress, drive up legal bills, and/or simply be uncooperative. When this kind of abuse happens, attorneys can ask the judge to force the offending party to pay up. 

In this case, our client had recently completed a divorce that resulted in his receiving the lion's share of the marital home's equity. As a result, our client's ex-wife refused to comply with a post-divorce court-ordered task and filed a post-decree motion.

Our Family Law Team filed a request for attorney’s fees for the additional unnecessary work as a result of the frivolous motion. The court ordered the ex-wife to pay our client's attorney's fees for the nonsense.
