“The amount of attorney's fees awarded to the wife in a divorce case rests in the sound discretion of the trial court but must be based upon the financial need of the wife and the ability of the husband to pay. Koon v. Koon, 50 Wn.2d 577, 581 , 313 P.2d 369 (1957); Coons v. Coons, , 6 Wn. App. 123, 126 , 491 P.2d 1333 (1972). Attorney's fees may not be allowed when the wife has ability to pay since she is not entitled to free litigation. Bang v. Bang, 57 Wn.2d 602, 611 , 358 P.2d 960 (1961).”
