Typically attorney fees are not awarded in a domestic violence petition case. Those are typically awarded as part of a dissolution, whether you receive them depends on if the DVPO is filed in the dissolution as well as other factors.

Please feel free to contact my office to schedule a consultation to discuss your situation.
