Laws current as of October 22, 2024 Can I get help with my attorney's fees?
In a case for sole legal decision-making or joint legal decision-making, either parent may ask the court to order the other parent to pay his/her attorney fees, court costs and expert witness fees if s/he is unable to do so and the other parent has significantly more money than s/he does.1 Also, if the court feels that a parent is trying to modify an order for the purpose of harassing the other parent, the judge can make the parent filing the petition pay the court fees and costs.2
