Can I stop paying child support if the custodial parent discourages me from visiting with my child even after a legal order has been made by the courts?
No! Under no circumstances should you ever stop making child support payments unless you are ordered by the court to discontinue payments. You will be responsible for any payments you miss no matter what the situation. If you encounter a problem in which the custodial parent is not complying with a court order, you should speak with an attorney or your local court clerk.
