It depends. First, there has to be an active civil case pending (ie divorce) for any records to be obtained without a wireless customer’s permission. The attorney isn’t authorized to request any records if there’s not civil case that is ongoing.
One of the first bits of advice that I give my divorce clients is to avoid posting on Facebook and other social media. It is an effective way to completely destroy your case.
I am frequently asked this question by prospective clients during the initial consultation. Some are surprised to discover that they can’t find an attorney that is willing to take on their case without paying a retainer in advance. This is because an award of attorney fees from the court is never an absolute certainty.
Generally, attorney fees may not be awarded in a case unless authorized by statute or contract. Georgia law does have various statutes authorizing an award of attorney fees in family law cases.
