How do we fight judgement for attorney fees

I would like to find out if i have any legal resourse to fight a judgemnt in a case of family law. We are grandparents, our visitation case was consolidated with fathers, we had no legal stance in the proceeding other than name on documents and we were slapped with a judgement to pay the mothers attorney fee's. Is there any justice. Mtaz11405@aol.Com

Your best bet is to seek legal advice by having a consultation with an experienced Family Law attorney.

Take the Judgment and any other pertinent documents with you to the appointment and ask the attorney for an opinion as to your next course of action.

(I am not an attorney, but I used to work in Family Law. In my opinion, if the consolidation of the cases was court generated or otherwise not requested by you, and if you were not seeking legal fees from the other party on your own behalf; I believe you can make a fairly strong case for your exclusion from this Judgment.)

The attorney will review your paperwork. Then, depending on what the Judgment states, it is entirely possible that you will be able to file paperwork excluding you from the Orders. And if so, you can either retain an attorney of your choosing or represent yourself in the matter.

(If you represent yourself in the matter, please be sure to follow the attorney's advice when filling out and filing your documents, so that you don't inadvertently make things worse.)

If you do not know any attorneys, contact your state's Bar Association for a referral to an attorney in your area (there is usually a small fee for this service).

Don't just rock the boat, turn it over, if you're not on it!

I would make them sue me in court for the attorney fee's. Then I can go to court an plea the case to the judge directly. Because it's just a civil matter. Not criminal. That's why you don't have to hire a attorney. If the judge see's fit that you have to pay for the attorney's fee than you can get a lawyer and appeal the decision. But the father may have to pay the attorney fee. Go the cheapest route first it may save you time and money. I would think you wouldn't have to pay. But I can see why the father might have to.

Also with the case being consolidated you may have to pay the attorney fee. That is where it involves you. Check an see if the attorney fee is split with you and the father or are they trying to make you pay the own bill. You have a legal stance if it was for visitation rights. So you maybe responsible for some or all. Good Luck
