What to do if I’m looking to take my ex-wife back to court for contempt and physical custody of my daughter?
My ex has denied me my rights of visiting with my daughter and has moved to I don’t know where. The only thing I have is my court order for visitation and joint-legal custody as well as her parent’s address. What can I do?

You will need to file a Petition with the Court, seeking to hold her in contempt. You will then need to have this served on her. There are a variety of ways of locating her, including internet searches, domestic relations records, etc. If these methods don't work, her parents could be subpoened to testify about her location. An experienced attorney can assist you in doing this.
