A Los Angeles Superior Court judge orders a man involved in litigation with Kim Kardashian to pay her about $167,000 in legal fees, according to the reported court proceedings. The man had argued that paying the full amount of Kardashian’s fees would financially destroy him, but the court rejects that position, describing the argument as “unavailing.” The available reporting does not specify the underlying claims in the case or the full procedural history beyond the fee order. A lawyer representing the man says they plan to seek further relief, framing the dispute as an issue involving an imbalance of power, and indicating an intention to continue challenging the decision. The ruling cited in the reports is described as being made in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday. The coverage focuses on the judge’s assessment of the fee-payment hardship argument and the resulting obligation to pay Kardashian’s legal costs.
