Following a 14-day trial where the applicant father successfully resisted the respondent mother's application to relocate their child to Michigan, the court determined the issue of costs.
The court found that neither party beat their respective offers to settle and that neither party engaged in bad faith.
Applying a 60% partial indemnity rate to the father's reasonable costs and considering the mother's ability to pay, the court awarded the father $65,000 in costs, payable in monthly installments of $380.
