Montana Supreme Court Denies Attorney Fees in Divorce Appeal
The Montana Supreme Court refused to order John Bordeaux to pay Ella Bordeaux five thousand dollars in attorney’s fees and costs for prosecuting an appeal. Justice Pigott notes the court lacks jurisdiction to grant such relief, as appellate power covers only points of law in divorce cases while the district court retains the action. The decision emphasizes that a divorce action remains pending in the district court during an appeal and that the supreme court cannot grant the requested relief.
