Onnellista uutta vuotta! (Happy New Year!)

Merry Christmas everyone.
On Dec 23 we served BM the court papers for DH to legally withdraw from parenting SS16.
He expressed SS16's unilateral withdrawal from the family and the paternity test as reasoning.
DH had not reached to SS16. Neither have I. We haven't told the kids anything yet but they haven't asked about him this Christmas so I think it will be easier than we expected.
Yesterday DH texted SS16 Merry Christmas and said he loved him. SS16 texted him back Merry Christmas but dropped the love reciprocation.
Before all this we had mailed SS16 a few hundred dollars worth of gift certificates in the mail. Everyone else in our city received the mail we sent out.
Yesterday SS16 posted a tiktok video. I don't follow him but it showed up in my For You. It was him showing off all the things he got for Christmas, which was not a lot. A couple outfits from his mom and some snacks. Nothing we sent. Says it was his best Christmas ever. At the end of his video he thanks his parents. Weird.
This morning is my birthday and my mom said she made me a tiktok. So I go to check it out and I get a notification saying my message request from SS16 has been accepted. Which on his Bday I made him a slideshow on tiktok and tagged him in it.
Anyway I go to click on it and it changes from SS16's username to: user not found. And BM blocked me too. Weird because her account is private.
So somehow SS16 is having his best Christmas ever after finding out his beeyotch Mom lied to him all these years?
Cool. Awesome. It's not my issue anymore. Right?
Glad everyone is happy... Over there.

If the plan is for DH to legally withdraw from parenting (or if he already has legally, which seems to be the case), why is there still communication going on? Seems like mixed messaging to me. I'm confused.

I’m also wondering if there’s a way for your DH to claim some/all money back he wasted on raising someone child through BM’s deception?

Legally withdrawing doesn't mean he doesn't still love SS16. But SS16 left our family and presumably has a bio Dad who could/should step up now that DH is no longer responsible for SS16.
But how is SS16 gonna post that he had the best Christmas ever after learning his Dad isn't his Bio dad, and thank his parents?

DH doesn't see it as wasted, because SS16 was in our lives all those years. But spending it now when SS16 wants nothing to do with us is certainly wasting it.

So who do you think may be the father?
Do you have a guess?
Was dh married to bm when the baby was born?
