Attorney fees
My boss is going through a divorce which he was court ordered to pay attorney fees to his wife's lawyer. In the paperwork he was told to pay the amount even if he had to borrow the money. He was unable to get a loan, and was not able to get the amount in cash advances on his credit cards. He offered to pay the amount by credit card which her attorney refused the amount stating that it would cost her $158 in credit card fees. We have documentation that she refused the ordered amount. Does he legally have to find other ways to pay or is she going to have to take payment since he has no other way to pay? Also he does not have the additional available credit to pay the extra amount.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hello his:
He obviously doesn't have a lawyer... If he did, he wouldn't be getting his a$$ kicked. Maybe he should borrow enough to hire himself one.
What's the judge going to do if he doesn't pay?? Put him in jail?? Take his kid away?? Nahhhh!
He needs help - SERIOUS help. THIS ain't where to find it.
I'll make this suggestion, though. I would write the judge a letter telling him that his offer to pay was rejected. Let the judge handle it. I WOULDN'T be shaking in my boots like he evidently is.

Frankly, I think her attorney was within their rights to refuse payment by that method.

Hello Scott:
I don't know. If she accepts credit cards then how can she refuse? The $158 is the cost of doing business.

[QUOTE=excon]Hello Scott:

Nope, she can refuse - I've seen Attorneys refuse to take anything but cold hard cash (certified check) - that way nobody challenges the payment and the Attorney tries to collect a second time.
If the person can "credit card" the debt, why not use the same card for a cash withdrawal?
