Following a three-day trial regarding the validity of a separation agreement and child support, both parties sought costs.
The applicant claimed $13,972.05 on a partial indemnity scale, while the self-represented respondent claimed $16,865.
The court found that success was divided, as the respondent succeeded on the validity of the agreement but the applicant succeeded on the issue of child support.
Given the divided success and the unproven nature of the respondent's claimed hours and lost opportunity, the court ordered that no costs were payable by either party.
