Summary

The bill mandates that any attorney‑fee award in a domestic‑relations case be paid from the parties’ community assets. If the parties have no community assets, the fee cannot exceed the larger of 15 % of a party’s disposable income or $8,000. This limits the amount a party may be required to pay for legal representation.
