We have never before asked the court for costs.
My stepson's mom, however, has asked for costs several times... and won!
Given the facts of our situation, where she is refusing a very reasonable settlement offer... thus forcing us to return in front of a judge... we would like to take our chances and ask for costs.
How do we go about this?
Where do we ask for costs? I'm assuming it needs to be written in the settlement conference brief, but where exactly, under which section?
How should we phrase this request?
Should we ask for her to pay costs... or should we ask for the costs that we were ordered to pay to be revoked? Or both?!
Any advice would be great!
