other costs.
(b) If an obligee prevails, a responding tribunal of this state may assess against an
obligor filing fees, reasonable attorney's fees, other costs, and necessary travel and other
reasonable expenses incurred by the obligee and the obligee's witnesses. The tribunal may not
assess fees, costs, or expenses against the obligee or the support enforcement agency of either
the initiating or the responding state or foreign country, except as provided by other law.
Attorney's fees may be taxed as costs, and may be ordered paid directly to the attorney, who may
enforce the order in the attorney's own name. Payment of support owed to the obligee has
priority over fees, costs, and expenses.
(c) The tribunal shall order the payment of costs and reasonable attorney's fees if it
determines that a hearing was requested primarily for delay. In a proceeding under part 6 of this
article, a hearing is presumed to have been requested primarily for delay if a registered support
order is confirmed or enforced without change.
