IN RE MARRIAGE OF BROCKETT

No. 5-84-0261.

130 Ill. App.3d 499 (1984)

474 N.E.2d 754

In re MARRIAGE OF CINDY KAY BROCKETT, Petitioner-Appellant, and ROBERT EARL BROCKETT, Respondent-Appellee.

Appellate Court of Illinois — Fifth District.

Opinion filed December 26, 1984.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Lawrence L. Ruemmler, of Land of Lincoln Legal Assistance Foundation, of Mt. Vernon, and James R. Conley, Jr., of Carmi, for appellant.

No brief filed for appellee.

Reversed and remanded.

JUSTICE WELCH delivered the opinion of the court:

The petitioner, Cindy Kay Brockett, appeals from that portion of the judgment of dissolution of marriage which denied her prayer for attorney fees. The trial court denied an award of attorney fees on the basis that petitioner had not "incurred" attorney fees as provided by section 508 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1983, ch. 40, par. 508).
