Your options are none, perhaps except to tell the current husband to stop calling you about it because it is not your issue. This is your 28 year old son's issue. He can call his lawyer. No one here knows what court orders and agreements are in place.

Your son needs to be proactive and discuss his issues with a lawyer. The lawyer can review the order to determine what to do next. One possible solution is to return to court to modify the order.
