It looks more like mom is worried about losing her extra income so kid is enrolling but not completing school. Hes 19, has no high school degree and will now enroll in college and probably drop out.
Personally, I would wait until she proves he has applied (with a receipt) or at least provides the full details. Failing that, no money. Then if he does go in September next year, tell them you will pay your portion of the expense when you have received his mid term marks.
His mother is on ODSP, he qualifies for OSAP. Neither one of them have demonstrated good faith in this. To keep him registered part time in an alternative school to get full child support is unfair. Kid isn't working and therefore unable to pay his portion of post secondary. Moms portion will be slim to none. You're basically paying for them both to do nothing. Does that make me harsh? Probably but someone has to be the voice of reality.
