¶ 3 Since the subject of the instant appeal relates only to the award of sanctions and fees, we need not detail the circumstances of the underlying custody case. We will discuss the facts only as necessary for the issues raised on appeal. For a more detailed discussion of these facts, see In re Prince M., 2014 IL App (1st) 132086-U.¶ 4 Danette and Anthony had a relationship which led to Prince M.'s birth on June 6, 2006. Anthony filed a voluntary acknowledgement of paternity for Prince. Danette and Anthony were never married and did not reside together, but Anthony paid voluntary child support and provided financial assistance to Danette for household expenses for a period of time.
