Is a wife entitled to pendente lite attorney fees as a result of a denial of a continuance of trial?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Charchian v. Mahgerefteh, B270201, B276852 (Cal. App. 2019):
Wife argues that the trial court erred in refusing her request for a continuance of trial, despite its understanding that she should have been granted pendente lite attorney fees in order to be able to prepare for trial. The denial of a continuance is reviewed for abuse of discretion. (Volkering v. Allen (1950) 96 Cal.App.2d 804, 807.)
