California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Perez v. Perez (In re Perez), E062440 (Cal. App. 2016):
Teresa argues that her OSC papers "included the requisite information for an attorney fee award . . . ." The trial court, however, had ordered that the issue be determined at trial. And at trial, Teresa was required to introduce admissible, nonhearsay evidence to support her claim. (Elkins v. Superior Court (2007) 41 Cal.4th 1337, 1354-1357.) She did not do so.
