Murphy v. Murphy

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

1Opinion of the Court

DANA, Justice.

[¶ 1] Louise Murphy appeals from the judgment entered in the Superior Court (Cumberland County, Saufley, J.) after a nonjury trial requiring her to pay her minor children $18,100 that her ex-husband, James Murphy, borrowed from the children. James Murphy cross-appeals asserting that the court erred when it ordered him to pay a portion of his children’s attorney fees as a result of his breach of a fiduciary duty owed the children. The children also cross-appeal contending that the court erred when it refused to order James to pay all their attorney fees. We affirm the judgment.
