The applicant brought a motion seeking to amend his Response to a Motion to Change to include relief regarding child support and financial disclosure, and to set aside a prior order that allowed the respondent to amend her pleadings.
The court dismissed the motion to amend, finding that the applicant's concerns related to the enforcement of an existing disclosure order, which should be pursued separately under Rules 1(8) and 26 of the Family Law Rules rather than delaying the pending parenting issues.
The court also dismissed the motion to set aside the prior order, concluding that the applicant's inability to file responding materials would not have changed the outcome.
Costs of $2,700 were awarded to the respondent.
