The applicant sought costs of $92,399.43 on a partial indemnity basis following a family law trial involving equalization, child support, and spousal support.
The respondent requested that each party bear their own costs.
The court found the applicant was the more successful party overall, despite divided success on some issues.
After considering the factors under Rule 24(11) of the Family Law Rules, including the respondent's unreasonable positions on certain support issues and the reservation of costs from prior motions, the court fixed costs payable by the respondent to the applicant at $81,920.43.
