Lynn B. Hargis v. Allen Hargis

Summary

The court held that procedural due process did not require an evidentiary hearing before the circuit court awarded attorney's fees in this domestic-relations proceeding. Lynn had notice and an opportunity to submit evidence regarding the parties' financial circumstances but offered only conclusory assertions, and the circuit court had presided over the matter for years. The court affirmed the fee award and vacated the Court of Appeals' opinion.
