There are two bases for the award of attorney fees under Minn. Stat. § 518.14, subd. 1. First, attorney fees may be awarded on the basis of a party’s need if the district court finds that (1) the fees are necessary for the good-faith assertion of the party’s rights; (2) the party from whom fees, costs, and disbursements are sought has the means to pay them; and (3) the party to whom fees, costs, and disbursements are awarded does not have the means to pay them. Id. Alternatively, the district court may award attorney fees against a party who “unreasonably contributes to the length or expense of the proceeding.” Id.

Marriage of Ludwigson v. Ludwigson · 2002 2 citations

Appellant argues that the child support magistrate lacked subject-matter jurisdiction to award respondent attorney fees for this child support modification. 5 Subject-matter jurisdiction is a legal question. State v. R.M.H., 617 N.W.2d 55, 58 (Minn.2000). But an attorney-fee award under Minn. Stat. § 518.14, subd. 1 (2000), “rests almost entirely within the discretion of the trial court and will not be disturbed absent a clear abuse of discretion.” Crosby v. Crosby, 587 N.W.2d 292, 298 (Minn.App.1998) (quotation omitted), review denied (Minn. Feb. 18, 1999).
