Assuming the child support is court ordered and the parent sought and obtained permission to move out of state, the child support would continue.

No. However, if they move to a cheaper state, you may be able to change support. But as you probably won't get as much custodial time, support could increase.

No. Child Support continues until the court changes it or the child is emancipated. While the move might warrant a modification in the amount due to the changes in parenting time, the move does not alter your financial obligations to the child.

Probably not, since support usually is ordered until the child is age 18 or graduates high school. However, if the parent moved out of state without permission, there may be some other recourse possible.

no. The child support is for the kids and they need it no matter where they live.

No. The child still exists and still needs support. It might be possible to adjust or modify the support to take into account long distance travel.

The child support obligation remains in effect unless it is modified by the court.

In Ohio, the child support will not be stopped. But it may be changed. If a modification to the parenting order requires the children to be able to travel to the home state, child support may be modified to cover at least a portion of the cost. You need a lawyer and I mean fast. You have a lot of work to do if you want to see your children.
