Heading: attorney fees are allowed on appeal

Text: An award of attorney fees is appropriate where the appellate court is left with an abiding belief that an appeal was brought, pursued or defended frivolously, unreasonably or without foundation. I.C. § 12-121 (2004); I.R.C.P. 54(e)(1) (2004); Albee v. Judy, 136 Idaho 226, 231, 31 P.3d 248, 253 (2001). Pro Indivisio's appeal prevailed on the award of attorney fees to FSB on default. Consequently, the Court will not award fees to FSB. The Reynolds did not make an adequate request for attorney fees. The McDonalds are a prevailing party, and the appeal as to them was unreasonable in the face of established law. Attorney fees are awarded to the McDonalds.
