The applicant sought costs following her successful motion for partition and sale, while the respondent opposed and sought his own costs based on partial success on his motion regarding the treatment of future income loss and Family Law Act claims.
The court found the applicant was entitled to costs for her motion, as the respondent's opposition lacked merit and he had failed to file pleadings.
The court acknowledged the respondent's mixed success on his motion and arbitrarily reduced the applicant's costs award by $1,000 to account for it.
The applicant was awarded total costs of $4,081.62.
