Florida man ordered to pay ex-wife $50,000 in legal fees over hidden rental records

After a lengthy divorce trial, Luis Garcia was ordered to pay $50,000 in attorney’s fees to Ruth Garcia. The judge found that Luis intentionally withheld important financial information regarding their rental properties. This withholding was deemed egregious and constituted bad-faith conduct during the litigation process. While the fee award was upheld, the appellate court questioned how the specific amount was determined.
