Following a motion where the applicant successfully compelled the respondent to comply with outstanding orders and post security for costs, the applicant sought costs of $12,687.06.
The court awarded costs on a partial recovery basis, fixing the amount at $6,100.
This included $2,000 to compensate the applicant for her own time spent preparing materials as a self-represented litigant, noting the importance of meaningful costs awards for self-represented parties in family law.
