The respondent mother brought a motion for security for costs regarding the appellant father's appeal of a summary judgment order that granted her final decision-making authority and restricted his parenting time.
The Court of Appeal found good reason to believe the appeal was frivolous and vexatious, as the father had not opposed the relief sought at the summary judgment motion and failed to file his materials on time.
Finding that the father had insufficient assets to pay a costs order, the court ordered him to post $18,000 in security for costs and stayed the appeal until payment.
