This is a costs endorsement following a six-day family law trial involving custody and access of a child, determination of child support, and enforcement of spousal support obligations under a separation agreement.
The mother was substantially successful at trial, obtaining sole custody and a child support order of $982 per month, with spousal support continuing as agreed.
The father's position on parental alienation was rejected.
The court awarded the mother partial recovery of costs at $25,000, with $12,500 to be enforced through the Family Responsibility Office at a rate of no less than $500 per month and the remainder payable within 60 days.
