It's possible that the family law judge could order you to pay part or all of your spouse's attorney and legal fees. In many cases, each party pays their own legal fees. In other cases, one spouse will be ordered to pay part of all of the other parties' legal fees, especially if he or she is intentionally drawing out the process to make it more costly. It's ultimately up to the judge, but it's not uncommon in divorce cases for both spouses to ask the judge to order the other party to pay their legal fees.
