Faton v. Ahmedo
Annotate this CaseBashar Ahmedo and Sina Faton initially represented themselves in the proceedings before the trial court, which solely concerned the issue of a Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO). The trial court granted a DVRO against Ahmedo; Ahmedo subsequently obtained counsel and filed a motion for reconsideration; and after reconsidering the matter the court reissued the DVRO against Ahmedo. Faton, who retained counsel when Ahmedo filed his reconsideration motion, thereafter filed a motion for attorney fees under Family Code section 6344, which was granted by the trial court. Ahmedo appealed that order requiring him to pay attorney fees incurred by Faton to obtain the restraining order against him. He argued the fee award was improper because the fees were not requested in a timely or proper manner and they were unsupported by the evidence. The Court of Appeal rejected these contentions and affirmed.
