If he is not following the order you need to contact your attorney and they can assist you in enforcing the order. As long as you are following your order you doing the right thing. You don't need to quote your ex-husband the law b/c it probably wouldn't do anything but make things worse. Let your attorney handle it so you can avoid trying to explain to your ex what he clearly is not understanding. Good luck!

Without having knowledge of all the terms in that order, it's hard to tell you exactly what you should or shouldn't do. But, I do agree with the answer above, especially about not quoting the law to your ex. Usually, that will only lead to an argument and more issues. Best of luck.

If he fails to pick the child up, he misses the weekend. Remember that if this gets drug into court, denying the Father visitation without GOOD cause will look pretty bad.
   
   What are your end goals? Perhaps if you clearly stated those, you would be able to better position yourself to reach them.
