Wow thanks to you as well Logicalvelocity for your response as well, you really shed some good light on the subject, we are still unsure of the fact of supporting him until he is of the age 18 whether he is in school or not..my husband has no problems giving his son money directly to help him out, but feels giving the money to the mother is not fair since she is not maintaining the home for him anymore...getting school records will not be a tough thing since my husband has already spoken to the VP of the highschool and she is the one who has given him all the information...BTW we do live in Ontario...thanks again for your information, I think I will sleep much better tonite
