Has a court already ordered you to pay the plaintiff's legal fees? If so, the judgment or order should tell you how to make the payments. If there is no court order, I would need to know more about your case -- particularly, why you're paying the other side's fees. I can imagine reasons why that would happen, but they're not common.
