The applicant wife brought a motion to stay the respondent husband's motion to change until he pays $17,672.33 in outstanding costs orders, and sought $10,000 as security for costs.
The husband argued the motion was premature as the validity of an agreement waving financial rights had not been determined.
The court found non-compliance with costs orders and that the husband habitually resides outside Ontario.
The court ordered the motion to change stayed unless the husband pays the costs and posts security in trust.
