Attorney's fees in child-related proceedings

A prevailing party may recover reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and other litigation expenses, which may be fixed and allowed in the court's discretion, from the nonprevailing party in a proceeding before the juvenile court that concerns the custody or visitation of a child, the relocation of a parent with a child, the support of a child, or the adjudication of a child as dependent and neglected, whether at an initial hearing or at a subsequent hearing. However, an award of attorney's fees, costs, or expenses under this section shall not be made for or against the department.
