Legal Question in Family Law in Washington

Child Visitation

There is a court order for visitation every other weekend from Friday to Sunday pick up and drop off at 4pm. Custodial parent refuses to allow the non-custodial parent to bring their children to her home, which is 50 miles from the children's home and also out of state. There is no court order for supervised visitation and there is no court order specifying the children not allowed to be at non-custodial parent's home. Can the custodial parent discontinue Child Visitation, is the other parent in contempt even if it's court ordered, what is the best way to handle this mess??
