Legal Question in Family Law in California
Attorney fees
My husband has gone to court and finished with the courts, as to him paying child support. Now his ex wants more money, only two months after we settled. My husband is pro per, and the ex's attorney sent us a letter, wanting more child support, and we responded with a letter, over a month ago, telling him, that the burden of proof is on his client, as to why she needs more money. We just got a bill from the opposing counsel, for $485, charging us for a letter, order to show cause,income and expense declaration, that we never received. We are not court ordered to pay her attorney fees, nor does he represent my husband, as my husband is pro per. Can her attorney charge us for services that belong to the ex, his client?

Most likely not without a court order. I would need more specifics to give you a better answer. Call or email my office if you would like. Thanks and good luck.
Re: Attorney fees
He would have to get a court order first. You said you were not served. I am curious how you would know there was no court order requiring to pay attorney fees.
