Brotton Chang v. Lee Cher Sim
Case Number: D18-02871
Judge: Not Available
Court: Superior Court, Contra Costa County, California
Plaintiff's Attorney:
Defendant's Attorney:
Description:
Martinez, California family law divorce lawyers represented husband and wife in a divorce.
In this marital dissolution proceeding, self-represented appellant Lee Cher Sim challenges two prejudgment orders entered by the trial court-a ruling awarding interim attorney fees to Sim (but in an amount less than she requested) and a later order directing her to vacate a residence owned by Sim and respondent Britton Chang. As to the fee award, Sim contends the court erred when it set the lower fee amount based on a conclusion that Sim's failure to comply with her discovery obligations had exacerbated the litigation and unnecessarily increased fees. Sim argues the prejudgment move-out order was premature.
Outcome: Divorce granted.
