Q: We had listed on the form when we fill out that fees be paid by the respondent. The attorney was hired after and we told
We told the attorney but during the trial he told the judge that we want 5 years and we thought once that is granted what we stated on the application for restraining order will be granted. It was after that the attorney reported that only 5 years was granted and nothing else by the judge. Could we ask for the fees to be paid by the respondent? We are told we owe money because of the trial. Please any feedback on how we could get the fees be paid even if 50% thanks
A:
more info needed.
your missive is confusing.
