Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

contempt for child custody order

I have joint legal and physical custody. I went to pick up my daughter and her mother said no claiming our daughter was sick and I wasn't taking care of her. Police came and she gave them the same answer. I have the event # and will pursue in court. Similar things have happened in the past but this is enough. My questions is, what is the end game if I take this to court?

If you have documentation of other incidents it is worth pursuing, otherwise I would start my paper trail
