One of his motions in court is to have ME pay his atty fees. My lawyer told me that it depends on the amt of the property award he gets: the judge may say he can pay his atty fees out of that so he won't get EVERYTHING he's asking for - 1/2(+?) of the marital assets including the pension AND alimony post divorce AND have his atty fees paid. At least he only hired his atty this summer, so the fees shouldn't be too high yet (I've pd mine about $1500 so far, but I know it's just getting started!)
