Father Rights Canada / I decided to stop my child support payments

My son was 14 when my ex to him to the states. We had not quite finished our divorce agreement but both the separation and divorce agreement stated that unless by a court order or my permission was granted she was not to leave the province of Ontario.Well she had neither and went anyway.

After speaking with my lawyer,in Ontario, who stated " There is nothing we can do ,all she is is in breech of the agreement, I decided to stop my child support payments. After a long divorce I didn't have the money to continue this fight legally and after getting a call from my son telling me how great it was there and he will never have to be in the cold again I felt defeated.

Yet again she had gotten her way with no consequences.

So here it is two and a half years later, I have not seen my son in this entire time and I have been served paperwork from the states informing me that I need to pay her two and a half years of back pay. The judge here is telling me that I will have to pay this because child support and her leaving the country are two seperate issues. Am I wrong to disagree with this satement and is there anything I can do to argue the judges statement?
