(a) Any party may, at any time, request that the Tribal Court order the other party to pay all or part of the attorney fees and expenses related to the action or a specific proceeding under this chapter, including a post-judgment proceeding. A party who requests attorney fees and expenses must allege facts sufficient to show that:

(2) the attorney fees and expenses were incurred because the other party refuses to comply with a previous Tribal Court order, despite having the ability to comply.
