Yes. You need to file a petition in the family court for enforcement and/or modification of your divorce agreement. You will need to bring your divorce agreement and a copy of your judgment of divorce with you to court. You may also want to consider hiring the services of an attorney to assist you.
If you are divorced, and you both signed a Stipulation of Settlement or Separation Agreement, then that paper would have the terms of visitation and you can enforce JUST those rights. Family Court referees / judges / magistrates generally specialize in certain kinds of cases, so if your ex-wife brings up money, it will not be discussed in that part.
I cannot comment on the working issue, as I cannot see your agreement.
