  • 1.  Order for Counsel Fees

    Posted 02-13-2014 02:43 PM

    Happy snow day to all.

    I am trying to docket a judgment for counsel fees under a post judgment order I received but all I have is an order not reduced to judgment.  Am I out of luck to docket this as a judgment or do you think the court who awarded fees will enter a judgment for the counsel fee award?

    Thanks!

    Rosanne,  To play it safe, you should file a motion.  You can probably do a 1-page certification stating that the order for fees was entered, attach it as exhibit, explain that fees were not paid and ask that court sign your pre-prepared and submitted Judgment.    
    BTW, not all of us got to enjoy the snow.  In Cape May County, we got about 1" of snow following by torrential rain.  Bummer.
