It is often a very frustrating experience for non lawyers - and lawyers too - to seek help from the court to admonish to one in contempt, only to have the admonition seem to mean nothing. What you need to do is to use these court admonitions in your favor to modify the custody order and persevere in forcing the court to really act. You may need some extra clout - like an attorney - to help force the issue. Good luck.
