A costs decision following a motion to change custody and access arrangements.
The respondent sought to change the primary residence of the child and restrict the third party's unsupervised access.
The applicant opposed the motion and brought a cross-motion.
The parties settled on the basis of recommendations from the Children's Lawyer's investigation.
The court found that success was divided: the respondent was unsuccessful in changing custody and primary residence but successful in reinstating and significantly expanding his access to the child and refuting serious allegations of abuse.
The court awarded costs to the respondent on a divided success basis.
