This is a costs endorsement following a motion by grandparents for temporary access to their 10-year-old grandson.
The grandparents' motion was substantially successful, obtaining access beginning with two 3-hour visits in 2016 and monthly 7-hour day visits starting in January 2017, subject to specified conditions.
The respondent Shelly Blair, the child's custodial caregiver, sought costs of $6,100 against the grandparents and $1,130 against the mother.
The court awarded costs of $3,600 to the grandparents (payable at $300 per month) and $600 to the mother (payable at $50 per month), exercising discretion to discount the full recovery of costs available under the offer to settle rule.
