The trial court in this divorce action properly awarded attorney fees to the plaintiff ex-wife because the defendant ex-husband “engaged in misconduct”.

An attorney fee award in this divorce action must be vacated, the Michigan Court of Appeals has ruled, because the trial court did not make a finding as to whether the requested fee was reasonable.

The trial court’s denial of attorney fees in this divorce action was not “outside the range of reasonable and principled outcomes,” the Michigan Court of Appeals has ruled.

A trial court properly awarded the plaintiff-attorney more than $78,000 in legal fees for representing herself and her law firm in litigation with a former client.
