Following a family law trial regarding custody, time-sharing, and child support, the self-represented applicant sought costs of $21,513.00.
The respondent argued for no costs.
The court reviewed the outcomes of the trial and determined that success was highly divided.
Furthermore, the court found that the applicant had engaged in highly unreasonable and irresponsible litigation conduct throughout the proceedings, which unnecessarily prolonged the trial.
Consequently, the court ordered that no costs were payable by either party.
