As others have said "get counsel". Child support, as an example, can only be terminated by further court order.

Do not pursue this without legal representation. What if she does not refinance? What if she changes her mind about child support? What does the prior court order say?
Re: disposal of marital property
You definitely need legal representation for this matter. You need to seek a modification of the divorce decree/support Order.
If you Quit Claim the property you relinquish all claims to the property and generally are relieving yourself of any further liability. However, you need to ensure that the consideration for the transfer (termination of child support) is approved and Ordered by the court.
