A: Based on what you are asking the simple answer would be they can be asked for and the judge can order it or not. This depends on the income of the parties and whether her attorney asks for it or not. Furthermore, it can be something that is agreed to before the case concludes by all parties involved. Therefore, it depends on the circumstances of the divorce, the attorney or attorney's involved, income, ability to pay the attorney.
