This is a costs endorsement following a motion by the Respondent to vary a final order concerning child support, retroactive adjustments, and section 7 expenses.
The court found mixed success for both parties on the substantive issues.
Considering the factors under Family Law Rule 24(11), including the importance and complexity of the issues, the reasonableness of each party's behavior, and counsel's rates, the court determined that the Respondent's unreasonable conduct, such as failing to comply with disclosure orders and a settlement conference requirement, warranted no award of costs to either party despite the mixed outcome.
