The applicant mother sought substantial indemnity costs of $7,637.90 following her successful motion to compel the sale of properties and release proceeds from the matrimonial home.
The respondent father did not provide cost submissions.
The court found the father engaged in unreasonable conduct throughout the litigation, including failing to comply with a temporary support order and refusing to cooperate with the sale of rental properties.
The court awarded the mother elevated costs fixed at $7,500, to be paid from the father's share of the matrimonial home proceeds.
