Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I reside in TX and I am the noncustodial parent, I should be having a Support review in the near future. I have a modified possession order in place; 1,3 & 5 weekend beginning at end of school day until return to school and every Thursday beginning when school out until return to school. Every Spring Break (odds and even years), alternating two week periods during the Summer beginning when school lets out until it begins in Fall, custodial parent starts the Summer period. Christmas and Thanksgiving are standard with alternating years of possession. This averages to over 40% overnight possession on my part. Texas standard possesion gives noncustodial parent a little over 20% overnight possession. My question is, Would I be remiss to ask for a smaller percentage (less than the standard 20%) be deducted for Child Support since I have my child roughly twice as long as standard possession time? I was also ordered to pay for Medical & Dental insurance; when orders drawn amount was $169 a month the following year it increased to $305 a month what I have been paying since. I am current with all my payments. Mother has kept child from me during my Court ordered time of possession on several occasions; police reports have been filed on every occasion. How could one go about having Contempt of Court charges filed against her? Would this be of any benefit to me or could it be detrimental if I am trying to make corrections to my Orders? Any information or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and hope to hear back from you all soon.
