The Applicant mother sought costs following a three-day family law trial.
The court awarded the mother $15,000 in partial indemnity costs, rejecting her claim for full recovery due to the absence of formal settlement offers and a finding that the father did not act unreasonably.
To accommodate the father's financial difficulties and recent bankruptcy, the court ordered the costs to be paid at $200 per month.
The entire amount was deemed support to allow for enforcement by the Family Responsibility Office.
