I can't speak for your daughter's fee agreement with her attorney; however, I can tell you that in general, she is responsible to pay her attorney, and if the other party pays the fees, your daughter would be reimbursed. Her attorney's right to get paid for services provided does not depend on the other party's compliance with the award of legal fees.
