Article 13 - Provisions Applicable to More Than One Type of Matrimonial Action
241 - Interference With or Withholding of Visitation Rights; Alimony or Maintenance Suspension.

§ 241. Interference with or withholding of visitation rights; alimony
or maintenance suspension. When it appears to the satisfaction of the
court that a custodial parent receiving alimony or maintenance pursuant
to an order, judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction has
wrongfully interfered with or withheld visitation rights provided by
such order, judgment or decree, the court, in its discretion, may
suspend such payments or cancel any arrears that may have accrued during
the time that visitation rights have been or are being interfered with
or withheld. Nothing in this section shall constitute a defense in any
court to an application to enforce payment of child support or grounds
for the cancellation of arrears for child support.
