transportation and support

I live in Illinois. My origional divorce agreement gave me custody of our kids, and my ex visitation one weeknight,and every other weekend.We lived in the same town at the time of the order.Iknow that visitation and child support are separate issues,so he see's them even though he is $4,000 behind.I now have moved 2hrs away,with no objection from him.I provide all transportation for his visitation,he refuses,and says that if I do not bring them he will take me back to court for interfering with a visitation order,because I am the one that moved.I want him to see the kids, but I feel that when he is so far in arrears, it is unfair to expect me to spend my money on gas, take 8hrs out of my weekend to drive there and back and rack up tons of miles on my car.What are my options,and his responsibilities concerning his visitation?

I'm in the same boat. Both my husband and his ex's husband are in the military. Both sides have other kids. Neither of us has reaaly any problem with the other moving, except that she does not inform us of moving and they disappear for 2 months, before some one locates them. The court has ordered us to drive 12 hours to pick-up and deliver his daughter to the home city in IL and she has to drive 5 hrs. We have to pay a large child support amount and do not have the money for the job, but what choice do we have? He only gets 4 weekends a year
