Hi all, today is the day I have all the paperwork (Forms 15, 15A, 13, 27 and 27A) completed, signed and commissioned by a lawyer from FLIC. Before I officially serve my ex, the original copy of the SA has to be retrieved by the court (court copy on file), since the date of the original SA final order is dated August of 2005, and thus no longer on file in the courthouse due to the age (orders older than 5 years aren't kept there). So for now, I await a phone call from the courthouse to inform me that the original order has been retrieved at which time I will now have to return to the courthouse (again!!!) to have my completed papers submitted for the clerk to make two (or three???) copies to finally be able to serve the ex, and finally get the process started (yeah!!!).
So now, in the interim, I've been instructed to fax a Confirmation Of Assignment form to the Ministry Of Community And Social Services to determine if there is an assignee to this matter which in my case I guess would be ODSP, since my ex has been collecting since our separation. I'm not too sure if FRO would be considered an assignee or not, since I'm not involved with them (we both opted out originally).
Which leads me to my next question........
Do I continue to pay CS like I've been doing every month, if by the time this month's payment is due, and the original SA copy hasn't yet been retrieved by the court for me to serve my ex yet? Do I still continue to pay CS AFTER I have served her? Is it legal for me to stop paying her, while this process is in the works (which I understand is going to take some time)?
The situation here, is I have a son who is 19 now, and NOT attending FT schooling. I understand that my ex can just be a b****, and flat out refuse to settle (deliberately dragging out the process) and I'm still paying out CS that I shouldn't be paying until the process goes through. What if, miraculously my son does then manage to finally get all his high school credits completed by then, what recourse do I have to recoup the CS that I shouldn't have been paying in the meantime (if I still should be paying)?

Thank you in advance for any, and all knowledgeable responses.
