““in the exercise of a trial court’s discretion regarding an award of counsel fees, ‘the availability of “sufficient cash” to pay one’s attorney’s fees is not an absolute litmus test---- [A] trial court’s discretion should be guided so that its decision regarding attorney’s fees does not undermine its purpose in making any other financial award.’ ... Taking into account the totality of the circumstances reflected in the financial awards as a whole, we cannot find that the trial court abused its discretion and acted unreasonably in granting the [plaintiff’s] request for counsel fees. Although the alimony awarded to the [plaintiff] provided her with liquid assets, the trial court could reasonably have concluded that it wanted to preserve those assets for the [plaintiffs] use without the burden of the contested ... attorney’s fees.”
