Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Re: child support obligation when visitation is denied

There are considerable facts left unstated and you would be best advised to contact an attorney such as myself to discuss your case.

NO, you may not stop paying child support because she does not abide by a visitation agreement. Legal action can be taken to acquire her compliance with the agreement or order, whichever the case. Your stopping payments of child support, albeit not a basis to deny visitation by law, may not work to your advantage. Do not put yourself in a poor position. What I suspect is that someone may have told her about the 120 day rule and modification to support agreements.
