Who is responsible for paying attorney fees in child custody cases?
In child custody cases, each party pays for their attorney fees. However, a judge can order one party to pay the other’s attorney fees if there is a significant income disparity or if one party is acting in bad faith.

Attorney expenses are normally covered separately by each side in child custody proceedings. However, depending on a number of variables, including financial inequality, the child’s best interests, and the reasonableness of the costs expended, the court may compel one parent to reimburse the other for legal expenses. Seek advice from a legal specialist for further details.

In general, each party is responsible for their own attorney fees unless the agreement states otherwise or the court orders otherwise.
