My husband is being taken to court for modification of child support. His ex was not pleased with the decision the office of Child Support made a year ago. They are making our life very difficult and have requested a total of about 8000 pages of documents. I have looked at the numbers inside and out and believe the judge may increase the current order by maybe $100 per month. That's fine,. but we don't want to pay her legal fees. What factors does a judge use to determine who pays whose fees?

Usually whether there was fraud, whether there's a pattern of harassment, financial ability of both parties to pay.
