McNeill v. McNeill

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida granted the wife’s petition for an interlocutory writ of certiorari, quashed the Chancellor’s order denying her attorney’s fees, and directed that a reasonable fee be awarded. The Court held that Fla. Stat. §65.16 authorizes a court, in its sound discretion, to award suit money and reasonable attorney’s fees to a divorced wife in enforcement proceedings, and that the Chancellor erred in refusing such fees.
