Litigation expenses

Hi,

I have divorece and maintnenace case(125) going on ,& on the second date for 125 court ordered me to pay 11,000 as litigation expenses.My counsel yes we have to have however I attended both dates,took summons and case is just started,so why should I pay this.Second is it applicable for all cases and applicable to only criminal cases.

Also,when I am paying fees to my lawyer,wifes is paying to hers,and for judge-goverment is paying.So why need to pay.

Thanks,

Manish
