Following two competing family law motions involving interim support, parenting access, and related corollary relief issues, the court determined costs.
The applicant had been more successful overall, obtaining spousal and child support, although she did not receive the interim disbursement requested and did not meet or exceed the terms of her settlement offer.
The court also noted that issues of conduct and bad faith were difficult to determine at the interim stage and did not affect the analysis.
Applying a partial indemnity approach and recognizing divided success, the court awarded costs to the applicant.
