Oftentimes, each spouse bears the responsibility for their own attorney fees and costs of litigation. However, the court does have the power to require someone to cover some or all of the other party’s attorney fees. Whether this happens depends on the financial resources available to each party. The facts of the case also factor into this decision. Additionally, it’s possible for either party to make this request. Then, the decision falls to judge whether they order it or not. When the court renders a judgment for these fees, the party pays directly to the attorney. From there, it’s on the law firm to enforce the judgment for debt.
