Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
legal fees
My divorce decree states that my ex has to pay $2500 towards my attorney fees. My attorney is saying I have to pay the $2500 and get my $2500 from my ex myself. Can that be right?

Re: legal fees
Yes, it can be right. It depends on the attorney, but if you have already paid your attorney, typically such an award is to reimburse you. I have had cases where I was collecting fees from both the former client and the opposing party at the same time.
