Hi Soc, thanks for your help in advance. I have a final order signed in Sept 05 giving me primary custody. The X filed Appeal in October, she has not filed her brief yet, as she does not have money to get the transcripts ordered. So apparently she is going to try to get money from me.

Last week, she filed 3 motions in the lower tribunal. Motion for Attorney's fees, Motion for Temp Alimony and Motion to dismiss Child support order. There is a hearing scheduled for March 6th. She is only rehashing the same arguments made at final hearing. The only thing is that this is a new judge, as the judge that resided over final hearing/order has moved to criminal court.

Questions:

1)  Are any of these motions liable to be granted?

2)  Should I re-hire my attorney to attend this hearing?

3)  Can I request Attorney fees from her for this hearing?

Thanks Soc, JT
