Legal Question in Family Law in Wisconsin

Rights about child non-payment child support & custody

Is it against the Wisconsin State law for a ex-husband not paying child support when he has a job. The court ordered child support in the divorce. He also has visitation rights of the children, and has 1 child at his home now & refuses to return him to me. I have custody of all 3 children & he does not. The divorse was finalized in the state of Colorado. He lives in Wisconsin & I live in Texas.
