Following a four-day family law trial, both parties sought costs.
The applicant was successful in establishing the respondent's income at a higher level for support purposes and achieved some success regarding private school tuition.
However, she was unsuccessful in her claim for an unequal division of family property.
The court found that success was divided and that the applicant's conduct throughout the proceedings was unreasonable, significantly increasing the time and costs of the matter.
Consequently, the court ordered that each party bear their own costs.
