The applicant, Maria Netkal, sought costs against the respondent, Yahya Gulma, following his withdrawal of a motion to change child support.
The court found the respondent failed to rebut the presumption that he should pay the applicant's costs, given his history of non-disclosure and attempts to relitigate previously decided issues.
The court awarded the applicant $4,000.00 in costs, payable monthly, and enforceable by the Family Responsibility Office.
The respondent's request for costs was dismissed.
