Is Respondent's contention that the Attorney for Petitioner's attorney spent too much time in preparation for trial preparing for trial?

"New York", United States of America

The following excerpt is from Lois R v. Richard R, 414 N.Y.S.2d 846, 98 Misc.2d 580 (N.Y. City Ct. 1979):

Respondent's contention that petitioner's attorney spent excessive time in preparation for trial must be rejected. Certainly a discovery effort (which was time-consuming in part because of respondent's efforts to avoid it) and a review of the large number of financial documents produced by respondent, were essential. Ascertaining a respondent-husband's undisclosed assets undoubtedly injects complexity into support proceedings that must be given weight in the fee award. See Greiner v. Greiner, Ind.App., 384 N.E.2d 1055, 1979.
