Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

I have 3 children who were placed with relatives when I was addicted to drugs. I have a child support order for the 2 oldest and no support order for the youngest child. All 3 have been granted legal custody. The CSEA took $4977 from me this year and $2500 in 2013, plus I have been paying $60 a month(which I thought was only arrears) since August of 2013. I think I read that when legal custody is awarded in a matter like this, I shouldn't have a support order for none. Is this true

Mom and Dad are responsible to support their children until they reach 18 and are high school graduates, unless there is a different order by the court. You will need to review all of your court documents to see if any stopped or redirected your child support payments.
