I am a witness for a custody case and the mother's attorney has stated I will be the reason she loses custody. If I hire an attorney, can I sue the defendant for my attorney fees? He's the one forcing me to attend.

No, you can't sue for the attorney fees and why would you want an attorney. Just get on the stand and tell the truth.

No, you must attend if you are subpoenaed and you cannot sue. You might wish to consult with an attorney.
