She cannot withhold visits because you are behind on support.

You cannot withhold support because she is thwarting the visits.

Those two things are very separate in the court's eyes.

Neither of you can call the police and get any satisfaction without a court order on those issues, without more.

Go to court and ask for a contempt hearing. Be prepared for her to bring up her own contempt issues, too.

However, as long as you're making a good-faith effort on the current support and are paying a little each week to catch up the arrearage, the judge won't slam dance on you.

He/she WILL however, slam dance on her if he thinks she is willfully denying the visits and there's no good reason.

Get as caught up as you can and then go to court....
