If my husband files for divorce, is he obligated to pay for my lawyers fees?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Charles D. Scott (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Offices of Charles D. Scott PLLC
In Florida the determination of who pays for attorney fees is based upon need and ability to pay. The Court must decide which party has a greater ability to pay attorney fees, as well as each parties need for attorney fees.  There is no automatic payment of fees, the court must decide each on a case by case basis. In your case, it sounds like your husband has a greater ability to pay for attorney fees. Your attorney will need to file a motion for temporary attorney fees and costs and ask the court to award temporary attorney fees and costs. Most attorneys will not take a case based upon the hopes of getting paid by the opposing party.  As a lawyer handling divorce cases, over the years I have had many cases where a judge ordered a party to pay my clients fees and costs, then that person never pays. As such even an order for one party to pay the other parties fees and costs may not be any guarantee that you actually get paid. Because Florida is a no fault state, it does not matter who wants the divorce or who does not want it, nor does it matter who files, or who has been misbehaving (drinking, drugs, adultery) the decision to pay attorney fees is based on "need" and "ability to pay"

What is my recourse if my husband has spent half of my 401k?

Madanmohan Singh Ahluwalia
Answered by attorney Madanmohan Singh Ahluwalia
Divorce lawyer at Ahluwalia Law Professional Corporation
First of all, you should send him a written demand asking for accounting of the 401K plan related account. Ask for account statements and then also ask how was money spent as of date of separation, not date of agreement. Then determine how much is owed to you. You are entitled to one-half of the amount as of date of separation. Such written demand or effort to talk and settle privately is required under what is known as "meet and confer" rules before going to court. If you are not satisfied, and he does not agree, then you need to file a written motion with the Superior Court to get a court order for him to transfer the amount corresponding to your share in the account.

If I want to get a divorce from my wife, what are my rights?

Clearly there are going to be complications in issues beyond a simple, normal, divorce. Without knowledge of the details it would be literally impossible to give you a rational estimate of how much legal services for the divorce would cost.
