Marriage of Bailey and Nation
We reverse an attorney fee award made pursuant to Family Code section 2030 (section 2030) because there was no evidence the party ordered to pay the fees – appellant Rebecca Nation – had the ability to pay them. Although there was evidence that Nation’s mother, a nonparty, had the ability to pay, Nation’s mother could not be ordered under section 2030 to finance her ex-son-in-law’s litigation.
