Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Child reaching their majority
I had three children with my ex-wife, a daughter and twin boys. At the time of our divorce, the judge ordered that I pay child support untill the twin boys 18th birthday or untill they reached their majority. In 2003 my ex commited the youngest twin to a mental facilty. Then, in 2004 she commited his brother, and our daughter left home after her graduation from high school. The state of Illinois is now saying that I owe my ex, child support even though there were no children in her home and had no cost involved with their food, clothing, or housing. I told my attorney in 2004, I thought he needed to have the order of support stopped. He told me that if the children weren't in her care that I wouldn't have to pay any support. In 2006, I was served with papers for back support and my attorney and I conferenced with the states attorney general. They have repeatedly told me that it wasn't about the money, that they just wanted me to go visit the boys. I have asked them how visting would negate the oder of support they say just go visit and it would due. I went to see the boys in 2006, I found the institution had been told not to let me spend more than 4 hours with the boy and I found the whole arrangement intolerable .
