There are two things to do. If the order is specific, you can call the police and file visitation interference charges. At some point the local prosecutor may choose to charge the mother with a crime. The other thing that can be done is to file a Petition for Adjudication of

Indirect Civil Contempt against mother for violation of the visitation order.

Yes, file for Contempt. The Mother needs to understand that she is subject to the existing Court Order.
