This is my problem briefly: I am a divorced lady who immigrated from Russia, with my 16 year old son (at that time) - we landed together in Canada- we started living together but 2 years later I got married, but last year my son decided to leave home without my consent- and permission -and he started living on his own by the support of his father (who lives in usa)..Now my ex threatens me and says that I have to pay him 700 every month because I sponsored him.... I have always told my son, "you are wellcome to live with me (and my new husband)and I am always ready to pay for all you essentials," but he says he wants to live on his own and wants me to pay him 700 dollars... Now my question is, can he do whatever he wants and live wherever he wants and can still ask me to pay whatever his rent is? I do not know how to solve this problem and I am having headache, I make 1800 a month, how can I pay him 700? Please help thank you so much ...

you sponsored your child? no... he accompanied you. Who from Canada sponsored you? That person is the one who took on the liability.
Your son may want $700 but I do not see where you are obligated to pay it. Tell him to take you to court.

if your son is living with your ex... then there may be some conversation about child support but that is an issue for the divorce court - not immigration.
if your son things you are obligated to support him - well he is bluffing or delusional. You are obligated to nothing. Like I said earlier - as hard as it may be... tell your son to take you to court. He won´t win.

Manipulation... just manipulation !!!
You are a mother and you know how kids manipulate the parents.

Your son cant take you to court, the court will dismissed the case right away, he is already eighteen and if he left home you have no obligation to support him, the only thing he can do is look for a job, because he cant even receive child support from you.
So relax and enjoy your marriage!!

there is 1 little detail to sort out - the primary sponsor has a 10 year undertaking for the child. That undertaking is not Mom... so, who is it and how many years are left.

Tell your son if he wants you to help him, he can move into the spare room in house and FOLLOW ALL YOUR RULES; or else he is on his own and he should not bother you with his rent or girl friend problems. The end of story! If he is 18, it is time he found work or Govt help to go to college. Even better, he can move to US and be his father´s burden!
