The applicant father was entirely successful on a motion for summary judgment regarding child custody, access, and support.
He sought costs on a full indemnity basis.
The respondent mother argued against a costs award due to financial hardship and the nature of the family law dispute.
The court found the mother's conduct unreasonable and in bad faith, as she brought an unrealistic custody claim to discourage the father's support application.
Despite her limited income, the court awarded the father costs of $2,200 on a partial indemnity basis.
