child custody and family law

You can file for contempt under your family law case in family law court.

This is a complicated issues with many possible resolutions. First, you can file a contempt. Second, you can seek to modify custody. But before you do either, what do the children want? If you force an older teen to move in with you when he/she does not want to - you risk the long term relationship and may win the battle but lose the war. Can you restructure your visitation time to agree you get all "no school" time, if the child wants to stay with Dad? This might be a good compromise if child wants to remain with Dad. If your son does not want to be with Dad then you can make a motion to modify custody on the basis that Dad is not likely to comply with the court's order. There is some case authoritiy that says the child belongs with the parent more likely to share custody with the other parent - and that sounds like it might be you.

I would certainly file a contempt and bring this to the attention of the court ASAP. Judges expect their orders to be obeyed. If you delay you may lose the right to complain about this - as a delay can operate as a "waiver."

Good luck.
