⚖️ Understanding Legal Costs in Family Law Matters 💼

Family law disputes can be emotionally 💔 and financially 💸 challenging. Did you know the general rule is that each party pays their own legal costs? But there are exceptions! 👇

✨ When the Court May Order Cost Payments:

💰 Financial circumstances of the parties.

📜 Whether previous orders were followed.

⚠️ Conduct of the parties during proceedings.

🤝 Offers to settle and their terms.

⚖️ Party-Party Costs vs Indemnity Costs:

Party-party costs are set by the Family Law Act scale.

Indemnity costs, awarded in exceptional cases, cover ALL reasonable expenses incurred.

💡 Examples Justifying Indemnity Costs:

🚫 Starting a case with no chance of success.

❌ False allegations of fraud or irrelevant claims.

⏳ Prolonging the case unnecessarily.

🤝 Rejecting a fair offer to compromise.
