The parties made written submissions on costs following the respondent's success on the applicant's motion for reunification therapy and the respondent's cross-motion for child support.
The respondent sought full indemnity costs of $6,709.26, while the applicant argued each party should bear their own costs or costs should be fixed at $2,500.
The court applied the principles of proportionality and reasonableness, noting that a tempered approach to costs is appropriate in cases involving decision-making and parenting time.
The court fixed the respondent's costs at $2,945, payable by the applicant within 60 days.
