When a party fails to comply with a court order, the court may order him/her to pay the aggrieved party’s reasonable attorneys fees. In a recent divorce case in Fairfax, Virginia, the husband had to pay slightly over $18,000 to the wife to cover her cost of litigating his noncompliance with a marital settlement agreement that was incorporated into the final order of divorce. Husband lost an appeal on this matter as the appeals court deemed the amount was reasonable.
