Interim Attorney Fees

Illinois law governing divorce cases permits one of the divorcing spouses to request the divorce Court to order the other divorcing spouse to pay and/or contribute to his or her attorney’s fees during the course of the divorce case proceedings and before entry of the Final Divorce Decree. Generally, whether a divorcing spouse is entitled to an interim attorney’s fee award depends upon certain factors, including the spendable cash, bank accounts, and/or credit available to the spouse seeking attorney’s fees; the amount that the spouse seeking the attorney’s fees has paid to his or her attorney; the cash, bank accounts, and/or credit available to the spouse from whom the attorney’s fees are sought; and the amount paid to the attorney of the spouse from whom the attorney’s fees are sought.
