Re: lawyers fees

Without knowing more about your particular situation, I would have to say that in a post-divorce proceeding,such as an enforcement action, e.g., collecting past due child support, the prevailing party is entitled to an award of their reasonable attorney's fees. However, every situation is different, and, in appropriate circumstances, you are entitled to contest an award of attorney's fees or at least have them reduced. Again, much depends upon the particular facts and circumstances of your case.
