In short, you cannot relinquish your rights or obligations to your son. The only way around support would be if your ex re-marries and the step parent wants to adopt your son. Here is more bad news. A recent Ohio Supreme Court decision has concluded that in cases where a child must continue to live with a parent due to mental illness, the other parent may be compelled to pay support for the child indefinitely. You need to see an Ohio attorney familiar with child support soon. It can make a big difference. The above does not establish a lawyer / client relationship, nor may it be relied upon as legal advice. It is intended for entertainment purposes only.
