Flagmy ex boyfriend is going after me for attorney fees for his osc to mod. child support. i had an attorney but i let him go because i could no longer pay for him since i do not work. can i also go after my ex for the attorney fees i have paid to date, even though i no longer have an attorney? can i file a notice of motion? that is what his attorney did.
If you prevail, then yes you can seek an award of attorney fees. But, attorney fees are fees that a lawyer charges in association with the case. If you are representing yourself, there are no attorney fees beyond those that the lawyer charged prior to his discharge.
