Following an interim order requiring the applicant mother to return the children to Guelph after a unilateral move to Ottawa, both parties sought costs.
The court determined that the respondent father was the successful party, as the mother's move was unreasonable and she was ordered to return the children.
Applying the principles from Mattina v. Mattina and Rule 24 of the Family Law Rules, the court fixed costs payable by the applicant to the respondent at $15,000.
