I once obtained an attorney fee award against a legal aid client based on their conduct. Ability to pay and debt is just part of the picture. Beth:

I am drawing unemployment, never had $12K in my life, and I represented myself in the divorce because I could not afford my own representation. I'm a little shocked that I'm being ordered to pay for my Ex's high priced Lake O' lawyer. I did not draw out the divorce but I was not happy with their demands for a pricey life insurance policy and parenting time issues. Again, I'm in shock. $12k for a divorce between two people with no assets? I was never given a chance to state my case(as far as I know). Can I appeal?
