Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

My daughters mother attempted to enroll my daughter in a school located by her residence and I live 50 miles from the mother. When the school my daughter is now attending called me to ask if my daughter was moving I filed a Rule to Show Cause. On the enrollment form mother states that the daughter lives with her when in fact my daughter has lived with me for over 2 years. What are the chances that mother will be found in contempt and what else could happen?
