The parties lived together until 2008. They have two children, X and Y, respectively born in 1998 and 2002. Following separation, the parties agreed to share custody. In the following February, the parties recognized that it was appropriate to entrust the custody to the mother and financial matters have been resolved. The mother filed a request for interim costs and an order under section 54.4 of the Code of Civil Procedure (CCP)
The Superior Court ruled that the award of custody to the mother was justified. She has established a very good relation with her children and she knew how to gave them the strict supervision they needed. In regard to the request for interim costs, the mother has income much lower than those of the father, she was party to the proceedings in the sole interest of the children and at no time abused procedures, which was not the case of the father. A sum of $ 15,214 will be given to it as a provision for costs and damages. Moreover, the compensatory damages he must pay will deter significant. J.E. 2011-1942 |
