I totally agree. If anyone should pay it should be either the ex or my father in law. I am calling the firm today to make sure no legal action has been taken against my husband. I will keep you posted. Thanks for all your advice!
Sorry about the long wait on information. No my husband never signed any papers. In fact he made it very clear with the lawyer that his dad paid the retained and that his ex would be responsible for all of the legal fees, since she is the reason the case was ever brought against them. Apparently...
My father in law hired the lawyer. He paid the money. As far as any agreements between my husband and the lawyer I am not sure. I will have to dig a little deeper to find out about that. My husband never mentioned signing any papers nor did I ever see him sign any papers. I agree on the 2nd...

I totally agree. I have gone above our lawyers head to the Firm Director to let him know the situation we are in. Hopefully this will deter them from bothering us in the future. I even gave them addresses to where they could get information on where to find her. Thank you very much for your...
I will mention that this was a case between my husband and his ex girlfriend - she was ordered to pay and now they are threatening us with legal action if we don't pay in the next 30 days.
The law firm is Anderson Nelson and Hall here in Idaho Falls. They do not give us a reason. I have court documents stating she is to pay the court/lawyer fees. The lawyer also said in an email when I contacted him about it, "She has been ordered to pay the fees, but she hasn't yet." What can I do?
My husband was involved in a legal case I do not know all the specifics, however in the court documents we received the other person involved in the case was ordered to pay the court fees. However that person has yet to pay them and now the Legal Firm is coming after us. Can they do this?
