Following a motion to change a prior consent order concerning child support, the court was required to determine entitlement to costs.
The moving party sought child support arrears, guideline support, sharing of section 7 expenses, and transfer of an RESP.
The court previously dismissed the arrears claim and ordered the RESP to remain jointly registered for the child’s educational benefit.
Both parties claimed costs and relied on competing offers to settle.
The court held that success on the motion was divided and that neither party’s offer exceeded the result obtained, and therefore declined to award costs.
