Heading: The Stokers Are Entitled to Attorney Fees on Appeal.

Text: The Stokers have requested attorney fees on appeal pursuant to I.C. § 12-121. This Court may award attorney fees on appeal pursuant to I.A.R. 41 and I.C. § 12-121 if it finds the appeal was brought without foundation. DeChambeau v. Estate of Smith, 132 Idaho 568, 572, 976 P.2d 922, 926 (1999). Like the underlying case, this appeal was without merit. Kirkman argued numerous issues which he failed to preserve for appeal by proper objection. He argued with findings of fact and invited this Court to substitute its own judgment for that of the trial court. He urged this Court to ignore firmly-established law. Therefore, we award the Stokers attorney fees on appeal.
