California Court of Appeal

An order quashing judgment creditor-s writ of execution seeking to recover post-judgment interest -- based on judgment of marital dissolution ordering husband to pay attorney fees to wife's former attorneys, but wife prohibited payment to her former attorneys -- is reversed as entry of a judgment ordering payment of attorney fees to the former attorneys gave them an independent statutory right to enforce the judgment pursuant to Family Code section 272, husband's failure to pay caused accrual of post-judgment interest, and the trial court erred in quashing wife-s former attorneys- writ of execution seeking to recover post-judgment interest.
