Financial Need Analysis Needed To Be Fine Tuned.
In Marriage of Hernandez, Case No. G062386 (4th Dist., Div. 3 Apr. 17, 2025) (unpublished), Justice Delaney on behalf of a 3-0 panel reversed and remanded a $7,500 needs-based fee award to ex-wife when her attorney only said he charged her a flat $5,000. The ultimate award could not be reconciled, although the matter was remanded to do a restudy of whether financial needs of the parties drove the result in some way.
