You need a good local attorney who will fight for you. Apparently, ACS and the Judge have taken a justifiably dim view of your poor judgment as a parent. However, although you made a very big mistake, it does not seem to be one that justifies no visitation. Supervised visitation would seem to be more appropriate. You will need to look into what parenting classes are available for you to take and what other affirmative steps that you can take to show that you are accepting responsibility...

The short answer is yes. Each of you has an obligation to support your children. With split custody arrangements, child support usually is calculated by determining each parent's respective support obligation for the child or children who does not live with them.

You should get a new lawyer who isn’t afraid to litigate. It will be expensive, litigation always is, but it sounds like you need to fight to get what is yours.
