The mother was the successful party in a motion to change regarding parenting and child support.
She sought costs of $32,455.36, relying on an offer to settle that met the requirements of Rule 18(14) of the Family Law Rules.
The father sought costs of $25,000, alleging bad faith by the mother, or alternatively that each party bear their own costs.
The court found the mother was entitled to costs but reduced the amount to account for the father's success on a previous motion for summer access.
The mother was awarded costs of $15,000.
