Re: court documents
Morning,
Your question is a bit vague. Under CRS � 13-17-102 a party can be liable for attorney's fees and other costs if the pleading was "substantially frivolous, substantially groundless, or substantially vexatious."
An attorney can also be liable under CRCP Rule 11 if pleading was interposed for an "improper purpose, such as to harass or to cause unnecessary delay or needless increase in the cost of litigation."
There is no way to know about the issues and your rights without review of the specific pleading and more facts. Contact an attorney to discuss this matter.
