Jocson v. Crabb10/13/2005
firm of Crain, Caton & James, Crabb provided legally sufficient evidence to establish that these fees were necessary to effectuate the settlement of the minor child. Crabb testified that he sought the expertise of Crain, Caton & James to assist him in creating a trust for the minor child. Accordingly, we hold that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in awarding the fees incurred by Crabb for services rendered by Crain, Caton & James.
We sustain issues one and two and render judgment awarding Crabb ad litem fees of $2,927.75 for reimbursement of the Crain, Caton & James's fees. Because of our holding on these issues, we need not address the issue relating to the award of ad litem fees on appeal.
Conclusion
We hold that the trial court abused its discretion in awarding the ad litem fees to Crabb, we reverse the judgment of the trial court regarding the award of ad litem fees, and we render judgment that Crabb be reimbursed $2,927.75 for Crain, Caton & James's fees.
Panel consists of Justices Taft, Keyes, and Hanks.
