I have less money than my husband, will he have to pay for my attorneys fees?


Experienced Bay Area family law attorneys will tell their clients that, yes, if your spouse has access to more resources than you that they may have to pay for your attorneys fees.

Under Marriage of Morton, decided in 2018, if one spouse has more assets than the other Family Code 2030 provides that the Court SHALL make an order awarding fees and costs.

If you are concerned about costs because your spouse has limited your access to financial resources, family law attorneys can help identify sources of funds that can help you hire an attorney. Contact Amanda at Amanda@gordonfamilylaw.com to learn more information.
