Sample Opposition To Motion For Attorney Fees in California Divorce

This sample opposition to a motion for attorney's fees in a California divorce is made on several grounds including that (1) the moving party has failed to meet their burden of establishing a need for the other party to pay for their legal representation; (2) the moving party has failed to meet their burden of establishing that the relevant financial circumstances of the parties justify a need-based attorney’s fees award; (3) the amount of attorney’s fees requested is excessive, and (4) the moving party has failed to submit sufficient information to determine the nature and value of the attorney services rendered. The sample on which this preview is based is 12 pages and includes brief instructions, a memorandum of points and authorities with citations to case law and statutory authority, sample declaration and proof of service. The author is an entrepreneur and retired litigation paralegal that worked in California and Federal litigation from January 1995 through September 2017 and has created over 300 sample legal documents for sale.
