Following divided success on multiple family law motions, both parties sought costs.
The mother sought full recovery of $73,845 based on an offer to settle, while the father sought partial indemnity of $10,971.
The court found that while success was evenly divided, the mother was entitled to some costs because two severable paragraphs of her offer to settle were as favourable as the order obtained.
The court awarded the mother $6,000 in costs, offset by her share of the costs for cross-examining an expert witness, resulting in a net award of $4,566.
The court also clarified a previous order regarding the father's spring break access.
