The applicant father sought costs of $4,195.80 following the dismissal of the respondent mother's motion to change a parenting order and the enforcement of the existing joint custody arrangement.
The mother opposed the costs award.
The court found the father was the successful party, having enforced the existing order and prevented the mother from changing the parenting arrangement.
The court awarded costs of $3,000 inclusive of fees and disbursements, payable at $125 per month over 24 months, considering the mother's limited financial capacity while recognizing her liability for the unsuccessful motion.
