Attorney Fees

A.R.S. 25-324 is the statute that governs an award of attorneys fees in a divorce. The court looks at the financial assets and resources of you and your spouse. The court also considers how reasonable each person has been during the divorce proceedings.

During your divorce it is important that you are careful and reasonable about the positions you take on the various issues. Your position may be unreasonable if it is too far from the case law and statutes governing the issue. You need to be careful not to get too far afield in your demands and expectations. On the flip side you have the ability to seek attorneys fees if your spouse is being unreasonable.
