You can file a Petition (or Motion) for Contempt, but you also need to file to Modify the Parenting Plan so that you can either change the parenting time (I am assuming she is moving far enough away that the current parenting schedule wont work). It may also be appropriate to change the child support based on the move. You may want to ask that you be named Primary Residential Parent if you think it is in the child's best interest not to move away..
