Generally, the non-custodial parent must have a good reason to make the accusation. Child Protective Services will investigate and determine if there is proof of abuse. If they find no evidence of child abuse the custodial parent may be able to sue for damages if the non-custodial parent was only trying to interfere by submitting untrue accusations. They should proceed carefully.
If the non-custodial parent makes the complaint in good faith but no abuse is found there will be no negative consequences for making the complaint.

The law that applies is the law of the governing state of Maryland even if child lives in another state. If Maryland law permits support for post secondary education, then it would be granted. Even if you change the venue to PA and record the child support order in PA, the law must still be enforced based on the original governing state. However, I would certainly not move your child support order to PA since PA law does not allow for any post secondary support unless it is in the orginial child support order or some other written agreement.
Yes, though only 7 out of 1000 ever pay it.
