Very disturbing issue with my teenage son

I have a 16 year old son who is causing me a great deal of grief. Over the last several months, the following has ocurred:
Out of school suspension for stealing money from another student.
· Arrest for pot possession. (SC DJJ case pending)
In school suspension for cutting numerous classes and leaving the school grounds.
A charge of petit larceny for stealing an iPod over the labor day weekend. (We go to Greenville Thursday to process paperwork; I requested charges be pursued) This one took me a month to figure out, but I eventually cracked it.
He’s all but stopped caring for his diabetes in regards to testing and maintaining a healthy sugar level.
His grades have all dropped to failing level
Anyhow, his mother is a piece of crap. I had to file for custody 6 years ago because of mental and physical abuse. He has been headed downhill for a couple of years, but its been a slow progression, and nothing I do seems to curtail his behavior. To help him catch up this summer, I paid over a grand for summer school for 3 classes. This is how he thanks me. He has broken my heart.
In 2011 I filed for child support since I needed the assistance financially. At that point, his Mom began filling my sons head with lies, etc. The behavior has only gotten worse over the last few weeks. Tonight, I received a call from the sheriffs department stating Kris was filing an abuse charge on ME! LOL, good lord, anyhow, the office saw thru the LIES and filed it as a problem teen report.
My question is this. If I am awarded child support and he decides to move-out and move in with her without her having legal custody, is child support still applicable to her? In South Carolina, strangely enough, kids can leave home at 17 without my permission, of course, I'm still responsible if he burns down someones house. Its crazy, but I have confirmed this with several agencies.
Im wondering if anyone else has faced such a troubling time and how it worked out for you.
Thanks,
Chaz_
