A dispute over attorney fees in a Palm Beach County divorce led a state appellate court Wednesday to reverse an order requiring the ex-husband’s attorney to pay the ex-wife’s attorney.

The Fourth District Court of Appeal said Circuit Judge John Phillips failed to provide proper notice and response when he ordered attorney Joel M. Weissman of West Palm Beach to pay $155,954 directly to the ex-wife’s attorney, Martin Haines III of Lake Park, as temporary fees and costs.
