Re: Violation of court order
The father needs to file an ex parte motion to compel mother to appear in court and show cause why she should not be held in contempt. Attorney's refer to these as "show cause motions". You should look at your local court rules to see how your judge wants these pursued. In some counties, the Order to Show Cause is issued after the agrieved party files a motion for a "rule" with the court.
