Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

Non-custodial parent missed visitation

It has been 8 mo. since my Children�s Father has visited. He has court ordered visitation. If I don�t let him visit I am legally in trouble. If he does not visit can he be in legal trouble or can this at least be a reason to alter the current ordering place to a more defined one? The situation of him coming in and out of the children�s lives is creating unneeded stress for every one in the family. Can the courts make someone keep the visitation?
