Following a successful disclosure motion in a family law proceeding, the applicant sought full recovery costs of over $22,000, alleging bad faith and unreasonable behaviour by the respondent.

The respondent sought to deprive the applicant of costs and claimed her own costs.

The court found the applicant was primarily successful but that full recovery was not warranted, emphasizing that costs must remain reasonable and proportional.

The court awarded the applicant $12,000 in costs and declined to order enforcement through the Family Responsibility Office.

The applicant mother brought a motion to change a final consent order, seeking recalculated spousal support, child support, and section 7 expenses for 2015, 2016, and 2018.

The parties reached a partial consent agreement regarding ongoing child support and section 7 expenses.

The court determined the parties' incomes and calculated the arrears and overpayments.

The court found the father underpaid child support and section 7 expenses, but overpaid spousal support.

The mother was ordered to repay the spousal support overpayment in monthly installments.
