Answer:
Basically, it is simply a motion for an order granting plaintiff attorney’s fees.
The body of the motion would read something like the following: “Plaintiff moves the court for an order granting her attorney's fees, and costs of suit. This motion is made on the grounds that plaintiff is without funds, income, property, or other means, and that defendant has sufficient income and property to pay the sums requested. This motion is based on plaintiff's verified complaint on file in this action and on the pleadings, papers, records, and files in this action."
