Supreme Court of Oklahoma

Denise Dianne Fulsom, Plaintiff/appellee v. Bodine Fulsom, Defendant/appellee, and Joe Fulsom and Jean Fulsom…

November 12, 200374 O.B.A.J. 3235

Summary

The court held that the attorney-fee provision in § 110(D) authorizes discretionary equitable fee awards only between the divorced spouses who were the original parties to the divorce case. It does not authorize fees against grandparents who intervened in a post-divorce child-custody modification proceeding. The court therefore vacated the intermediate appellate decision and reversed the trial court's fee awards against the grandparents.
