When will the court award a husband's costs in a family law trial?

As stated in Fair v. Jones, supra at para. 15, the courts have a wide discretion with respect to costs in matrimonial litigation: I think there is good reason to maintain a wide discretion as to costs in matrimonial litigation. As has been noted in many cases, family law trials usually encompass a number of issues, for example, property division, spousal support, custody and child support, and usually these issues are intertwined. Therefore, it is often difficult to determine if a judgment is more or less favourable than an offer since it may be on some points but not others.
