This costs endorsement followed a ten-day trial concerning custody, parenting time, and decision-making for a child.
The father (respondent) was largely successful at trial, achieving equal parenting time and final decision-making on health matters, which matched or exceeded his offers to settle.
The mother (applicant) had sought sole custody and reduced parenting time for the father, and her offers were not matched.
The court found the father's conduct reasonable and the mother's position unreasonable.
Consequently, the court awarded the father full recovery costs from the date of his first offer and partial recovery for the period prior, totaling $53,037.63.
