The court imposed a $10,000 monetary penalty for chronic failure to provide financial disclosure.
The applicant mother sought proportionate sharing of respite care for their adult son with severe autism spectrum disorder and a monetary penalty for the respondent father's failure to comply with disclosure orders.
The respondent father opposed the motion and sought a capacity assessment for their son and interim parenting time.
The court imposed a $10,000 monetary penalty for chronic, untimely, and incomplete disclosure spanning six years, while adjourning the respite care, capacity assessment, and parenting time issues pending determination of the son's capacity to participate in proceedings.
Costs of $1,300 awarded to successful applicant on disclosure motion despite respondent's claim of limited means.
The applicant sought costs of $1,800 following a successful motion for disclosure.
The respondent argued that each party should bear their own costs or that costs should be fixed at $100, citing limited financial means and an offer to settle.
The court found the applicant was the more successful party and that the respondent's conduct was unreasonable for failing to provide evidence supporting her claim that disclosure would be too onerous.
The court fixed costs at $1,300 payable by the respondent, noting that her failure to pay previous costs awards of $42,000 should not insulate her from further costs.
