Legal Question in Family Law in California

Currently we have leagl joint custody of the child with physical custody to me. There is a visitation order for every other weekend, however, the non custodial parent continues to go through the child for communications, discuss court issues (including child support he pays) and questions her about my personal business as well as speaks negatively about me in the child's presence. I have sought out therapy for the child to help her get through the questions she has regarding why her father, says and does certain things, and at this time, I no longer feel it's in her best interest to continue an every other weekend schedule until things improve. My question to you is, what do i need to do to request to stop or decrease the visitation time spent until the father improves his behavior? We recently went to mediation 9/08/10 and it was agreed upon at that time, that he would NOT include the child in any issues concerning visitation, court issues, child support etc. He continues to do so, and I don't know what I can do. but it is effecting her emotionally. Her grades have also lowered in school and she has come home crying several times after visiting with her father. She is 12 and is showing signs of slipping in school, lowered confidence, and she is afraid to talk to her father personally about her feelings.
