Charlottesville Divorce Lawyer Rob Hagy: Violation of Visitation Order Does Not Excuse Nonpayment of Support.

In the case of In re Marriage of Popa and Garcia, the Illinois Appellate Court, First District, Sixth Division, ruled that a custodial parent’s violation of the terms of a custody and visitation order does not excuse the non-custodial parent from paying child support.  But, active and extreme interference with the noncustodial parent’s relationship with the children by the custodial parent may establish asubstantial change in circumstance that warrants modification of thenoncustodial parent’s child support obligation.
