I am of the view that this is one of those cases, like Morrison v. Morrison, where each party should bear his or her own costs. As Justice Macaulay said in Morrison, “No caring parent should be discouraged by the prospect of costs being awarded against him or her from asking the court to conduct such an inquiry.” I should emphasize that this was not one of those cases where a parent was seeking to indirectly control the actions or curtail the freedom of a former spouse, or where there was so little prospect of bringing about a change in the arrangements that the application could be considered ill-advised, futile, or vindictive. I concluded that the defendant’s application was solely motivated by his concern for the well being of the children and that he had legitimate reasons for his concern.
