Does a non-custodial parent's frustration with his visitation rights prevent him from collecting child support arrearages?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Warga v. Cooper, 44 Cal.App.4th 371, 51 Cal.Rptr.2d 684 (Cal. App. 1996):

2 In so stating, the court reaffirmed its prior holding (Moffat v. Moffat (1980) 27 Cal.3d 645, 659, 165 Cal.Rptr. 877, 612 P.2d 967) that the mere frustration of a noncustodial parent's visitation rights does not estop the custodial parent from collecting child support arrearages. (In re Marriage of Damico, supra, 7 Cal.4th at pp. 678-683, 29 Cal.Rptr.2d 787, 872 P.2d 126.)
