Following a motion to change where the applicant successfully obtained an increase in spousal support and defeated the respondent's cross-claim to fix a termination date, the applicant sought costs.
The court considered the offers to settle under Rule 18 and the costs factors under Rule 24 of the Family Law Rules.
Finding that the applicant was largely successful and the respondent had not made any offers to settle, the court awarded the applicant $2,500 in costs.
