There was some attempted counter-suing from Kelly. Kelly attempted to have the Oklahoma case dismissed but it was allowed to continue. However, since the case was dismissed for jurisdictional reasons, not for merits, Chris was able to start a new case in Oklahoma against Kelly (the link only works if you're in the USA) and a new case against Karissa in Illinois (their respective home states). legal system allows pro bono lawyers to get paid as if they weren't pro bono in situations like this. Her attorney was working pro bono for her, so she did not have any fees per se. Karissa filed an appeal against that.Īlmost a year later, the Appellate Court ruled that California did not have jurisdiction over Karissa either and asked Chris to pay her attorney fees. The judge ruled that the lawsuit against Karissa could go forward. However, the judge did agree that California did not have jurisdiction over Kelly, so she was removed as a defendant.
