The Respondent sought costs after the Applicant's urgent motion to prevent her relocation was denied.

The Applicant opposed the costs order, citing the Respondent's alleged breach of their separation agreement regarding notice for relocation and claims of misleading the court.

While acknowledging the Applicant's motion might have been granted pre-COVID and his insistence on the agreement's terms was reasonable, the court found the Respondent's requested costs quantum reasonable.

Ultimately, the court ordered each party to bear their own costs.

The respondent brought a motion seeking urgent relief for retroactive child support and an order prohibiting the applicant from drawing on a joint line of credit, citing dire financial circumstances during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The court determined the matter was not urgent, noting the applicant's consent to interim child support payments and a restriction on the line of credit, and finding insufficient evidence of dire financial need given the applicant's concessions and the respondent's financial statement.

Despite the finding of non-urgency, the court issued interim orders reflecting the applicant's consent.
