Support

Sorry, support and visitation are separate issues. If you quit paying your support you will be in contempt. If she denies you your court ordered visitation then she is in contempt. Tell her if she does not allow you your visits that you will take her back to court for contempt. A judge can do anything from fines, to jail, or even change custody.
Good Luck

Documentation

Documentation - documention - documentation.

Next time take your visitation order and a cop with you to her house. One of two things should happen. She will give up the kid or not. If not you have documentation and a witness. Next time, do it again. If she says no again...comtempt and you start building a case for mor visitation or custody. DO NOT STOP PAYING CHILD SUPPORT!! In the face of adversity, be the better person. Also, don't worry about what she says about you being a bad parent. You can't change someones personality.
