Legal Question in Family Law in California
I was ordered by the courts, one year ago, to pay my ex-wifes attorney fees. It was added, by her attorney, to a stipulation that was ordered on the day of our devorce. I did sign the stipulation, paying more attention to the custody information than anything else, and had missed the part where I am responsible for his fees. Is there any way to fight this in the courts? Why would I pay for my ex-wife to attempt to take our son from me?

It is a court order. It is too late to do anything about it, other than to try and negotiate a reduction with that attorney.

Please be sure to address payment of this court order as soon as you can to avoid the possibility of a return to court on a contempt motion for your failure to pay.
You might be able to have that portion set aside as a clerical error, but your time is limited and your attorneys fees to have it set aside may be more than what was ordered. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
