Well, the visitation order is in effect until it's modified, but it may not be particularly practical depending on the distance involved. SO he needs to modify it, and then enforce his time.
Going back to the support for a moment..... I suspect he never looked at what the state support guidelines were, which is why it seems like she's getting too much now. And really, she was right in filing for it to be ordered and taken care of "officially" to make sure that the kids were being taken care of as the guidelines require. The way it works is that the first order takes precedence. So, for example, you are in the position to file for support from him, what he pays to her will be taken off the top before the guidelines are applied. She probably figured it was important to get her foot in that door before there was a chance for you to file for support on your child. And...... whether you agree with it or not, it's not a wrong way to look at it.
