My question involves child support in the State of: Maryland
The mother has resented the fact that I have gotten remarried and has poisoned my relationship with my children to the point of no repair.
My question is how do I end support for my two children who the mother has turned against me and no longer want me in their lives?

When the child support order expires, you may stop paying support. It is highly unlikely that a court will end support before that time. If there are issues that need to be brought to the attention of the court, in relation to your ex's conduct in relation to the children, by all means bring an appropriate motion.

How old are your children?

Until then, no matter what the ex does, you pay. -

Ah, but the money really ISN'T the leverage. It's been ordered by a court and isn't dependent on what mom is doing. If she's denying visitation, then you drag her fanny back to court for violating the court's order. And if she's poisoning the relationship, go her a step further and request custody on the grounds that you will be more likely to try to foster a positive relationship with the other parent, than she is willing to do for you.
