Mikesgal,

I am not sure where you are located but if you are in Ontario, you do have merit to bring the matter before the courts.

1) First off, if the child is not living with the custodial mother, this situation alone clearly shows that the child has withdrawn from parental control. The grandfather is not the parent. The mother should not be receiving the child support for this child in any event as this in itself would be considered a material change of circumstances. Another issue is perhaps she is continuing to receive the CTB and GST, and heating rebates for the child also. If this is the case, this is fraudulent behavior depict by her.

2) As far as the child being suspended from school, you will need hard evidence such as school records to corroborate this fact.

3) In regards to the child being involved with drugs and ventured somewhat off track, this would be considered heresay, a quite serious allegation I may add, and you would need hard "without a doubt" evidence such as police reports, medical records, several witness's to confirm this fact.


I would indeed take the matter before the courts. If anything it may help this almost adult child to get back on track before it is too late as it most likely he would be required to appear for same. I suspect either child support will be ceased or the proper person who is actually supporting the child would receive it. I would also request to have an order in place the the CCRA are to be informed of the changed living arrangements.
