jQuery remove validation rules by event

You could use the rules(‘remove’) method to remove your rules dynamically. Something like this on any event.

$('#fields').bind('change', function(){
	        val = this.checked;
	        if(val == true){
		    	//disable required fields
	        	$('#form_fields').rules('remove', 'required');
	        }
		});

Use rules(‘add’) method to add the rules back just before submit example:

$('#submit').click(function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    $('#form_fields').rules('add', 'required');
    $('#myform').submit();
});
