Hello,
Hope you can help us.
My common-law husband has three children. The two girls are 16 and 17 years of age. His son is 14. None of them go to school. His ex-wife does not work, but claims to be home-schooling the kids. (She is also married to someone else and the kids use her new husband's last name, even though he has not adopted them.)
Unfortunately, all three kids stopped communicating with their biological father two years ago and his ex ignores all his messages and gifts to the kids, etc. They live hundreds of miles away and it is impossible to visit or have the children come here, without making arrangements far in advance.
But his ex has refused to allow his children to come to Toronto, nor will she allow us to visit them in northern Ontario, despite the divorce agreement stating otherwise.
We do not believe they are actually being educated by his ex, as the last communications from his kids described how they were "cleaning the house", "baking" and going to weird fundamentalist "youth camps" in the United States to hear "preaching". Not to mention their levels of literacy -- communication skills of eight-year-olds, not teens.
My question is this: Can their father cut off child support to the two kids who are now 16 and 17 years of age, since they are not in school?
He pays directly through the Family Responsibility Office and communicating with his ex is impossible.
Thanks for your help.
