Temporary Orders In Divorce Cases

A petition for dissolution has been filed with the clerk of the circuit court. A summons has issued against the spouse and it has in fact, been properly served.

It is clear that the trial court has general power to award attorney fees pursuant to subsection (a) of this section and also pursuant to the plenary equitable powers of the trial court; however, regardless of the source, the power must be exercised while the trial court retains general jurisdiction over the cause. Where the court had evidence before it of the financial resources of both parties when ruling on the issue of attorney fees and where no hearing had been requested, the trial court’s failure to conduct a hearing on the propriety of the award of attorney fees was not error. The award of attorney fees is based on a showing of the inability of one spouse to pay and the ability of the other spouse to do so. The court may order either spouse to pay a reasonable amount for the costs and attorney fees necessarily incurred by the other spouse. The granting of attorney fees is improper where no evidence is heard as to the items of service which were performed, the basis of the amount requested, or the reasonableness of such fees.

An individual that I previously represented visited me the other day. Turns out he was injured in an automobile accident where he was driving and the other car made a left turn in front of his vehicle. He wanted me to represent him and his family that were passengers in his car. I informed him that I would gladly take his case, but I would have to decline representation of the passengers, who would need to hire a different attorney. This news not only surprised him, but made him somewhat annoyed with me, so I had to explain to him about conflicts of interest.
