SADDLEBROOK NEW JERSEY BERGEN COUNTY DIVORCE MEDIATION ATTORNEY

In this case addressing financial issues arising from a custody dispute between the child's father and the maternal grandparents of the child, who were awarded custody, the court reverses the orders: (1) reinstating a prior $20,000 award of counsel fees to the plaintiffs because plaintiffs did not submit an adequate affidavit of services; and (2) the order requiring defendant to pay plaintiffs' counsel fees for the appellate proceedings, because the trial court lacked jurisdiction to award fees for the appeal.         Conahan, et vir. v. Klingenberg, New Jersey App. Div., January 2, 2008
