My ex dumped my son and said she didn't want him living there anymore. I'm still paying child support to her..?
I don't have the money for a Child Custody Lawyer but I DID, per her request, get the legal paperwork giving me custody drawn up and ready to file and now she won't sign them. Is there any SINGLE document I can have her sign JUST releasing me from paying child support but not worrying about custody?

If the child is living with you, take him down to child support enforcement and explain the situation, they should discontinue the order. As for filing a change in custody, you may have to do it Pro Se.
If you want to learn how to do all this go to Dads House in Yahoo Groups. There's an educational manual in the file section that can teach you what you need to know. The organization it came from is defunct due to attorneys that tried to take it over and make money from it.
Take the time to learn what you can and should do.

Contact the youth welfare office and have the situation documented. If she abandoned the child, it is possible that she will have to pay you child support. Get all the legal advice you may be able to get from the welfare office and possibly legal aid. Do not immediately push for the custody or that she pay you the support, you may be able to use the situation to get her to give you custody and her to voluntarily drop her parental rights. I would only do this if you honestly believe it is in the child's best interest. Another point being that it is not normal for a mother to dump her child is to ask yourself why she did this. Be it her or a new boyfriend, is it in the child's best interest to be with her for visitation, if she even wants it. If she has a new person in her life, has she chosen him over her child and is is safe for the child to be there, both physically and mentally?
I do not mean to sound harsh against her, I do not know the situation. I look at the best interest of the child and from the little you wrote, I would be very cautious with the child even to the point of possibly having her visits, if she even wants them, supervised. I have heard/seen too many children that were not protected due to a parent not wanting to "cause" problems. Better to set up now what is best for the child than try to repair it later.
Good luck.
