Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Modification of child visitation

My fiance has been divorced for 2 years and full custody of both children, who live with us. The xwife is allowed visitation every other weekend. They use to live in the same county. However, after filing an injunction, he has moved within a 40 mile radius from her AND trf'd his job. She is claiming that her car will not make it to Jacksonville to pick up her kids but she can drive to daytona to shop (from Palm Coast - same distance). The kids father and I have been driving the kids every Friday to her and picking them up every sunday - this is tiresome...not to mention she is $1400 behind on child support and she NEVER returns them on time on Sundays. I have written a letter requesting that she respond by oct 31st - requesting that she either come one way or meet halfway. I am trying to avoid huge legal costs for modification. What can be done? If she does not respond to the letter, are we obligated to continue taking HER kids to HER and Picking them up too? or should we just not take them and see what happens. What form can be submit to the judge for modification, if she should decide to meet halfway?
