(Modified upon denial of rehearing 10/22/12.) In absence of clear Section 501(c-1)(3) finding that both petitioner and respondent lacked financial ability or access to assets or income for reasonable attorney fees and costs, court was without statutory authority to order respondent's former attorney to disgorge funds to petitioner's attorney in payment of her interim attorney fees, or to child representative for her fees. (HALL and KARNEZIS, concurring.)
