There are no legal grounds to cancel the support. Nor are there legal grounds to substitute the value of things that you do other than paying child support for the support arrears.

It depends on what your decree says. This is an aspect generally covered in a parenting plan. If not, Colorado statute says that the exemptions are taken in proportion to income so if you each make the same amount of income, then you would alternate every year.

You will need to deal with the court case in NV. Yes, you can be served in Colorado. You should get a lawyer in NV to help you with this. There may be an issue whether NV or CO should make the custody decision.

I'm not sure what you mean by "signed away my parental rights". If the child has been adopted by another parent, your child support obligation ends as of that date. You can still be responsible for any amount owed before then. You should be able to get a copy of what you signed from the court.
