Helping the BF here with assembling a return to court/motion to change.
He's been paying full CS amounts now for a great many years and has been denied access to see and even communicate to the kids by his ex. Tried arguing with the courts regularly when denied, but his ex creates lies to justify it - It's about $1000 per 'fight' in this battle now and doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
Anyway.. down to 1 child on CS - but her most recent ex told us that it might be best to do a dna check from what she told him. Ex told the 'presumably' bio father (my BF) that child doesn't want to see him anyway, so stop trying.
So... he's pretty much at a point to stop trying - especially if this child isn't even his. Current CS cost per month is just short of $1500, so there is about $54,000 left in CS before child turns 18 (probably won't go to post-secondary).
I guess the questions are:
1) like mentioned above, looking for some canlii references that might be good to have handy for the lawyer for this particular type of fight (to stop paying cs)
2) There's already $30k or more spend in lawyers, lost wages and other attempts to see the kids (flights booked for vacations with them, etc., - all to be cancelled) - wondering if costs would outweigh this last part of the battle or if it would be beneficial to pursue a stop to CS - either by child not wanting anything to do with father or because child may not even be "dad's" child.
Thanks for any initial assistance!
