Hello all, appreciate your advice here.
Am living in BC. I have a son who is now 20. My ex- and I separated 12 years ago and I have been paying CS based on an off-set calc as we have 50/50 living arrangements. However, he has now left the province, and the ex- and her husband have now occupied his bedroom (they were previously sleeping in the living room). He says he plans to come back for the summer at least for some of the time, but on the other hand has signed a lease for one year starting in May 2015 when the school year has finished.
We have an old sep agreement from 2003, but no other legal agreements. That agreement stated that she was to receive X amount in CS, but could be changed after SS ran out (which was 2008) We were never married. I have been paying her CS based on off-set calculation for shared parenting until now, in addition to paying all of my son's tuition, room and board, etc. that he cannot cover (he makes about $400 / month, but his fees and expenses are about $2000 / month more than that).
So my questions are:
1. Is he still a child?
2. Do I owe CS to ex- still?
3. If I owe CS, can I pay it directly to him?
Many thanks in advance,
DAL
