Have your husband consult with legal aid on base. If it is
court ordered that he pays a set amount a month then that
is all he is required to pay. She can't legally withhold his
visitation for money. That is call extortion and that is against
the law. Sounds like she is using that baby as a money
machine. If he can prove all the money he has given and
if the other family members can produce proof of her
demands for money then he might stand a chance to
get custody away from her and then she will have to pay.
Good luck.

first there should be a court order decided the visitation rights of the child. then there should be a set amount that he should pay every month. that way she can ask for more and deny visitation. Look don't let her mess up your marriage. That's her plan plain and simple. stay strong. Everyone is having money trouble these days so your not the only one. Just don't over spend, pay off your bills and don't make new ones. I'm a Marines wife so I know how it is. **** luck.

Suggest you consult this with Social Services in your area, the advice of a "pro bono" lawyer would be advisable.

Perhaps the two of you should try to get custody of the child. It sounds like you have a more stable home.
