he can ask.
if there is no statue that allows him to recover fees, then a motion to strike that section of the complaint is in order.
when did he ask for these fees? if its at the beginning of the court proceedings and you did not provide an answer yet then you can file a motion to strike. if its past this point in time and you did not file a motion to strike then the court will examine the request and your objections to such payments.
question you need to know the answer to: is there a statue statue that specifies that the fees in your kind of case are recoverable?
