Description
[1] Mrs. Coons, relying on RCW 26.09.140, also requests an award of attorneys fees incurred in this appeal. That statute permits the appellate court, using its discretion, to order a party to pay the other partys costs and attorneys fees incurred in maintaining an appeal. In making the award, the court must balance the needs of the one party against the other partys ability to pay. In re Marriage of Young, 44 Wash. App. 533, 538, 723 P.2d 12 (1986). However, the party requesting the attorneys fees under RCW 26.09.140 must make a present showing of need to support the award. In re Marriage of Konzen, 103 Wash. 2d 470, 478, 693 P.2d 97, cert. denied, 473 U.S. 906 (1985).
