A costs endorsement following a custody and access trial.
The father sought full recovery of costs from June 29, 2012 in the amount of $5,186.60, while the mother requested no costs be ordered.
The court granted custody to the father with extensive specified access to the mother.
The court awarded costs to the father as the successful party, but reduced the amount to $3,600 inclusive of fees, disbursements and HST, considering the factors under the Family Law Rules and the mother's limited financial circumstances.
The mother was permitted to repay the costs at $150 per month starting October 1, 2013.
