In re Marriage of Kane

Dispute over fees sought by husband's attorney, who represented husband for portion of dissolution proceedings. Attorney sought award of $48,000, which was in addition to $37,500 he had already been paid; after evidentiary hearing, court awarded attorney $12,500 on his petition against husband, and denied attorney's request for contribution from wife. Although attorney provided line-by-line itemization of his fees, court was not required to provide such itemization for its reduction, and court provided numerous reasons for reduction, including absence of progress in case and that attorney participated in only 2 contested hearings. (McLAREN and SCHOSTOK, concurring.)
