Enforcement of visitation
Yes, failure to follow all the rules set for visitation are enforceable by contempt. File a motion to enforce. The judge can order withholding to have the funds available to pay the stubborn spouse's portion of the flight. The jduge can also jail the stubborn spouse until payment is made for all past flights for which you paid and all ancillary costs. You must file the motion to enforce and let the court do its job.
