Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

attorney fees and court costs

I was just served w/ a Petition to Modify. His attorney has asked to have me pay all of his fees and court costs. Why should I be responsible for his fees. This just happened yesterday so I have not responded to the court yet. Is it typical that the respondent pay these fees? Thanks

It's pretty standard to ask that the other party pay attorney fees and costs.

You can file an "Answer" and ask that he be ordered to do the same thing too.
