The order says that you must pay X. FRO will assume that you have to pay X, and will force you to pay X until you go to court.
Also, custody orders are completely unenforced, order or no order. FRO doesn't help you get the kids during your parenting time. Nobody cares. The only way to enforce custody orders is to rack up a collection of parenting time denials, and then bring a contempt motion to court(*).
More importantly, it does not matter if the order is recognized in Ontario in terms of bringing such a motion. An order is an order. If she denies parenting time, an Alberta order is just as valid as one in Ontario.
I stand by my initial advice. Current order will not suddenly have you paying less CS. Current order will not suddenly enforce denied parenting time. You're going to be back in court. Note that current CS levels will likely still be due until such a time that you give notice that you are looking to change them.
eg
-Order says you owe $1000 a month
- In January you write to her and say "I should be paying less!"
- In March court decides you actually should be paying $400 a month
- You still owe $1000 a month from now until January, and $400 thereafter.
Point is, avoiding court and trying to be nice is actually punished in family court. Nobody will reward you for being nice. You will in fact be punished. Don't be nice.
(*) Even if you win the contempt motion, you won't actually win. She would be a given a chance to play nice in the future, and then you get to go through the charade again a few months later.
