Hmartinsvd,
I am sorry to hear about your situation. Unfortunately, it will be solely up to the judge to decide if your former wife is violating the current Order. Any number of things could happen, including a change in custody or a modification of the current visitation schedule. Your current wife and her involvment can certainly be brought up during the trial, simply because the judge has to make a decision based on all of the facts. As long as she is not doing anything to interfere with the custody schedule, then you shouldn’t have anything to worry about. As far as expense is concerned, any court action is going to be a costly endeavor. However, with a custody action, you may be required to attend mediation before you go before a judge. This will allow you and your former wife the opportunity to settle the issues before the matter reaches a judge, and before you spend a lot of money. You should talk to your attorney about mediation in your county.
Good luck!
