Court of Appeals of Indiana
The Estate of Michael David Estridge, Sr. v. Lana Ann Taylor
21A-DN-1379
Domestic relations, no children. Affirms the denial of the estate of Michael David Estridge Sr.’s request for annulment of the marriage between the descendants, Michael David Estridge Sr., and Lana Ann Taylor, as well as the denial of Taylor’s request for attorney fees. Finds the Marion Superior Court did not err in denying the estate’s petition to annul the marriage. Also finds no statutory provision allows Taylor to request attorney fees following an action based on Indiana Code 31-11-8-4, so she is not entitled to attorney fees. Finally, finds the economic conditions of both parties are not sufficiently disparate to support attorney fees.
