Description
__ P.3d __ 1 In this case we decide whether 43 O.S.2001, 110(D) authorized the trial court to order Joe and Jean Fulsom (intervening defendants/appellants/paternal grandparents) to pay attorney fees to Denise Dianne Fulsom (plaintiff/ex-wife/appellee/mother) and Bodine Fulsom (defendant/ex-husband/appellee/father), in a post-divorce-decree child custody modification proceeding. We hold 110(D) does not provide authority for the attorney fee awards against grandparents. Instead, 110(D) only gives a trial court discretionary equitable authority to award attorney fees for or against the two original parties to the divorce case, i.e., the divorced spouses, based on a judicial balancing of the equities between those two parties.
