More details to this question:
My ex and I have joint custody with me having care and control, and in fact my kids and I live in a different city from my ex. I am finding raising 3 boys all with mental disorders too much for me, and would like my ex to step up and raise them; can he refuse to take them?

Yes, you can't force him to. If you are unable to do so, the county can step in and help you or try to make him step up but if he won't they can be placed in foster care.

If I were you I would engage in attorney, there are many many variables which might affect your situation. It is generally impossible for a court, ex-spouse, or anyone else to it for say individual to undertake their parental duties.
