THE MARRIAGE OF

THOMAS CHAD' EMERSON
AND

                                            ORDER

       On November 7, 20 J6, an agreed sell Iement was entered into by the parties. Respondent

was ordered to refinance the home located at 1334 Ben Mar Overlook, Baytown, Texas, and then

to pay into the registry of the court all proceeds from the refinancing of the above home.

       On November 24, 20 I 6, the Court ordered check number J50883 in the amount of

$31,051.00 and check number 150881 in the amount of$597.67 into the registry of the court. A

total amount of the refinance ordered into the registry of the court was $31,648.67.

       Pursuant to the agreed settlement, the Court now orders that $3 I ,055.00 be tendered to

Amber Raquel Emerson from the registry of the court. The remaining funds of $593 .67 are to be

tendered to Thomas Chad Emerson.

       As part of the agreement, attorney's fees were to be determined by the Court. After a

thoughtful consideration with regard to the reasonableness and necessity of the attorney's fees,

the Court concludes that most attorney's fees excluding the original filing for enforcement by the

Petitioner were not reasonable and/or were not necessary to resolve the issue before the Court.

Thus, it is ordered that the Petitioner and Respondent pay their respective attorney's fees. No

post judgment interest is to be paid.

       IT IS ORDERED on this tlle S"' day of Deccz. 2016.                        ~
