Description
Laurie Jeanne Kelly, the former wife, appeals from an order rendered after a hearing to award attorney fees, following the completion of her dissolution proceeding. The order denied, in large part, her request for an attorney fee award, and granted her $3,901.50 in fees to compensate for the delays caused by the former husband, Gregory W. Kelly, during the litigation. She argues that the award fails to adequately compensate her for the costs and time incurred by her attorney, and that she should have been awarded all of her costs and fees based on the great disparity in the parties financial circumstances following the distribution of marital assets. The final decree denied her any alimony, and denied her any share in the increase in value of Gregorys business interests during the parties marriage because of a prenuptial agreement. We reverse and remand to the trial court for determination of an appropriate award of fees and costs.
