Hold Harmless Agreement
My ex-spouse defaulted on debts that were awarded to them in the divorce, I paid the bills and sued my ex as we had a hold harmless agreement in our divorce decree. At the time my attorney filed, he only asked for $1000 in attorneys fees which the judge gave me but by the time all was said and done, my attorney fees were actually $2000. Can I sue for the additional $1000 in small claims court since it was part of my actual damages?
Re: Hold Harmless Agreement
Yes, you could try and do that as long as you had a billing from your attorney for the $2,000 in fees. There is no guaranty that you will prevasil bu tit is worth a try in small claims court.
