The applicant father brought a motion to strike the respondent mother's Answer due to her willful breach of multiple disclosure and costs orders.
The respondent failed to participate in the motion.
The court found the respondent's non-compliance to be exceptional, given the financial issues, the children's support, and the respondent's abandonment of her financial obligations.
The motion was granted, striking the respondent's Answer and claims, and the applicant was awarded $5,000 in costs, allowing the case to proceed to an uncontested trial on financial issues.
