The applicant (mother) sought costs following a successful interim motion heard on September 10, 2018.
The respondent (father) was found to have deliberately underpaid child support, failed to comply with disclosure obligations, and lacked reasonable grounds for his allegations regarding the applicant's fitness as a parent.
The court awarded costs on a substantial indemnity basis, finding the respondent's litigation conduct unreasonable and his defenses unsupported by the evidence.
