The court issued a costs endorsement following a two-day trial in a family law matter.
The Respondent Husband was found to be the more successful party on key issues including the duration and retroactivity of spousal support and the quantum of child support arrears, despite the Applicant Wife's success on the quantum of spousal support and a life insurance designation requirement.
Neither party's settlement offers triggered Rule 18 of the Family Law Rules.
Considering the divided success and the Husband's slightly more favorable outcome, the court ordered the Wife to pay the Husband $2,500 in costs.
