He can hire a lawyer and enforce his order.

To enforce the order, your brother must file a petition for contempt. In the same action, if he wants to try to obtain custody of the children or at the minimum change visitation to take into account the distance between the two homes, he should do so as soon as possible.

If he was happy with the representation of his attorney in the divorce, he should return to that attorney for this action. Otherwise, I am available to discuss this matter with him further. [email protected]
