Hi, I live in Ohio. A year ago, my son decided that he wanted to live with his father instead of me. We decided that we wouldn't go to court to have everything switched that we would just agree to something between the 2 of us. Now, the child support is being modified to reflect the fact that my son lives with his father. The court is saying that I still have legal custody of my son, and that I have to give up legal custody of my son in order for the child support to be changed. Instead of going through that headache and trouble, can I go to the mediator and agree to take less child support a month? I still have 2 other children that live with me. Or, do we have to go to court and have everything switched?
