Hall v. Hall

Father could not recover attorneys' fees under O.C.G.A. § 9-15-14 a in his petition to enforce his visitation rights, since mother's argument against the appointment of a guardian ad litem for the parties' competent but developmentally disabled adult daughter had merit.

In this domestic action, Rosalind Hall appeals from the trial court’s grant of Woodrow Hall’s motion for awards of attorney fees under OCGA § 9-15-14 a and b, contending that the awards were not justified by the evidence. We reverse in part and affirm in part.

Rosalind Hall and Woodrow Hall divorced in January 1990. The divorce decree incorporated a settlement agreement between the parties. It provided for child support and visitation by the father with their disturbed daughter until age 24. Part of that settlement agreement addressed how the Halls would manage their relationship with their then 12-year-old daughter, Danielle, who did not function appropriately for her age. The divorce decree awarded Rosalind Hall sole legal custody of Danielle and awarded Woodrow Hall certain visitation rights. In the ten years since their divorce, the parties’ relationship has deteriorated, ultimately resulting in Rosalind Hall seeking a permanent protective order and Woodrow Hall seeking to enforce whatever rights he had under the settlement agreement.
