The likelihood of a cost award being made after a hearing or trial can provide a strong incentive for people to try and settle their court proceeding. It can encourage parties to be more reasonable in their positions and try to reduce the number of issues that need court intervention.
For more information about costs, see the Legal Services Society's Family Law website's information page [https://familylawfamily.lsslegalaid.bc.ca/bc-legal-system/if-you-have-go-court /costs-and-expenses If you have to go to court] under the section "Costs and expenses."
