If he is correct about the terms of your decree (which is standard language), then you need to go back to court and file for a modification of the decree.
It is reasonable to require that if the child is not with his father, that you be apprised of his whereabouts, and who is caring for him.
If the dad has a history of violence towards his children, you may want to explore the option of supervised visitation.
