    Product Description

    This program begins with an overview of the role of fee awards in litigation, exploring the statutory framework that governs when and how fees may be sought in divorce, custody, probate, and related matters. The discussion also addresses the risks involved in pursuing fees, including potential backlash in ongoing litigation and the impact on settlement dynamics. Participants gain a clearer understanding of the relevant statutes and case law, along with practical guidance on when a fee request may be appropriate and how to manage client expectations about the likelihood of recovery.

    Building on this foundation, the program turns to best practices for drafting persuasive motions and affidavits in support of fees, as well as strategies for crafting effective oppositions. Our expert illustrates these techniques with real-world examples and highlights common pitfalls that can undermine an otherwise strong request. Attendees also hear practical insights on how to balance zealous advocacy with client communication when outcomes are uncertain.
