The court determined costs following a motion and cross-motion regarding child custody and access.
The father had initially obtained an ex parte order for sole custody and supervised access based on incomplete disclosure regarding the mother's mental health.
The mother was ultimately substantially successful in obtaining joint custody and unsupervised access.
The court found the father acted substantially unreasonably by failing to make full disclosure on his ex parte motion and by failing to make timely settlement offers.
The mother was awarded costs of $73,712.34, representing 70% of her legal fees plus disbursements.
