In February, an appeals court issued the first ruling on the
new law, but some lawyers expressed disappointment that it didn't provide more
clarity on what spouses could expect to pay under the formula.
It did confirm that the defendant, Manhattan banker
Jasvinder Singh Khaira, was responsible for his wife's legal fees even though
they had already been covered by her parents. That ruling was based on another
new law, which requires the richer spouse to cover legal fees for both parties,
even when each person has substantial personal resources.
