Recovery of Attorney's Fees

Recovering Attorney's Fees in Jacksonville

Are you Financially Overwhelmed by Your Divorce?

Going through a divorce can be an extremely emotional and trying time for all parties involved. It can also be a lengthy process that may leave you financially drained. It is necessary to have a Jacksonville divorce attorney on your side to make sure that your rights are upheld during the entire divorce process. If you are in a situation where your spouse has more financial stability, you may find that you don't have enough money to pay for the legal representation you need.

The State of Florida has a statute that allows trial judges to order one party to pay for some or all of the other spouse's attorney's fees. Even though attorney's fees are ultimately the responsibility of the retaining client, this law protects the disadvantaged spouse who may not have the financial means to hire legal representation. It is important for both sides to have equal representation during the divorce, and we are here to make sure that you get the skilled representation you deserve.

If you and your spouse have equal financial opportunity, it is common for neither party to receive financial compensation for attorney's fees. However, if your spouse earns more than you, or if your sole responsibility was caring for the home or for the family at home, you have a good chance of recovering attorney's fees. Courts award attorney's fees based on need, and it may be possible to prove that you deserve compensation. Even though every situation is different, the court will usually order the spouse with the greater income to pay for the other's attorney's fees.
