The applicant sought costs following a successful motion to change child support obligations.
The applicant brought a motion to terminate child support payments for a child who had reached age 18 and was not in school, pursuant to a separation agreement dated September 24, 1999.
The respondent initially filed a response seeking disclosure of financial information and prospective and retroactive child support, arguing the child intended to pursue post-secondary education.
The parties subsequently consented to an interim order suspending child support payments, and the respondent withdrew her response.
A final order terminating child support was made by consent.
The court awarded costs to the successful applicant on a partial indemnity basis, finding the applicant was entitled to costs under the Family Law Rules despite the matter proceeding largely by consent.
