Jefferson Circuit Court
COA Published 10/4/2013
MAZE, JUDGE: Appellants, Kevin and Kelli Nesselhauf (hereinafter “the Nesselhaufs”), appeal from the order of the Fayette Circuit Court awarding attorney’s fees to Appellees, Gregory Baltimore and Ryan Haden, stemming from a custody matter to which they were parties. The Nesselhaufs contend that the trialcourt erred in awarding said fees. We find that the trial court’s order constituted an abuse of discretion, as the court did not have jurisdiction over the issue of attorney’s fees. Therefore, we reverse.
