The court awarded costs to the mother following a successful motion for temporary child support.
The mother sought $7,500 in costs for the motion and two case conferences.
The court found the mother was the more successful party, having obtained child support of $346 monthly starting June 1, 2016, a contribution to 2016 daycare expenses of $1,130, and fixed arrears of $5,974 payable at $125 monthly.
The father's late settlement offer and unreasonable conduct were considered, but did not rise to the level of bad faith.
The court awarded costs of $3,600 inclusive of fees, disbursements and HST, payable at $150 monthly starting September 1, 2017.
