In Marriage of Metzger, Case No. B220951 (2d Dist., Div. 3 July 21, 2011) (unpublished), wife appealed a $40,000 award of attorney’s fees to her as too low in a dissolution action when husband admitted that he spent close to $300,000 during the course of proceedings.
The appellate court found that it could not entertain the appeal. Why? Because wife did not timely appeal from the pendente lite attorney’s fees order, which is directly appealable. (In re Marriage of Weiss, 42 Cal.App.4th 106, 119 (1996).)
