What are the costs the mother asks for in a family law case?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from S.(C.) v. S.(M.), 2007 CanLII 20279 (ON SC):
[8] The costs the mother asks for relate back to the very start of the case, including preparation of the original application, but do not include “steps” such as case conferences and motions for which costs could have been awarded along the way, in accordance with subrule 24(10) of the Family Law Rules, set out above. The mother has correctly excluded earlier conferences and motions from her bill of costs, because only the presiding judge at each of those steps could have dealt with the costs of or incidental to those steps: see subrule 24(10) and Biant v. Sagoo, supra.
