This is a costs endorsement following a motion to change a family law order dated December 15, 2015.
The respondent mother sought to modify the applicant father's access to their six-year-old child and increase child support.
The court made significant changes to the existing order, granting the mother substantially more of what she sought regarding access restrictions and travel permissions, while awarding a moderate increase in child support that fell between the parties' positions.
The mother was determined to be the more successful party overall.
The court awarded costs of $3,000 to the mother, payable at $125 per month, considering the importance of the case, the parties' behaviour, and the father's modest financial circumstances.
