Following a motion for unsupervised and increased access where the applicant father was largely successful, he sought costs of $15,000.
The respondent mother opposed, citing divided success and inability to pay.
The court found the applicant was the more successful party but reduced the requested amount due to proportionality, unreasonable time docketed, and the respondent's financial circumstances.
The respondent was ordered to pay $7,500 in costs for the motion, with no costs awarded for the mandatory case conference.
