Marriage of Weston CA4/3
Amanda Weston initiated this appeal in June 2016 from the trial court’s denial of her request for an order compelling her former husband, Stephen Weston, to pay additional attorney fees on her behalf (Fam. Code, § 2030). She made the fee motion in postjudgment proceedings that followed the dissolution of the parties’ marriage, division of assets, and a trial on reserved issues, including custody of their then 12-year-old daughter. The court had partially granted Amanda’s earlier fee request, requiring Stephen to pay $12,500 of her postjudgment fees, but denied her subsequent request for the $28,000 balance of approximately $41,000 in attorney fees incurred postjudgment.
