““Had the legislature intended to restrict the allowance of attorney’s fees to the defense of an original decree, it could have so stated, but we believe the language used by the legislature in providing fees for defense of an appeal indicates that the legislature contemplated that such fees could be awarded on post-decretal orders as well.” Waltrip v. Waltrip, 3 Ill.App.3d 892, 897 , 279 N.E. 2d 405 .”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““However, this provision by its express terms applies only to matters culminating in the original divorce decree and does not authorize an allowance of attorney’s fees to defend an appeal from a post-decretal order. Therefore, the trial court erred in ordering plaintiff to pay defendant’s attorney an allowance for defense of plaintiff’s initial appeal.””
