EVERY single time the child is not at the established place/time for visitation, file a police report documenting it. (Keep a copy of your court order in your car so you always have it handy).

You can file contempt yourself- you need to research the proper way, but it is possible. If she repeatedly defies court order she will be found in contempt (as long as you can prove it- which is why documentation is important). Trust me, after she does it a few times a judge will be less than pleased and she will risk fines, jail time or even loss of custody. Be consistent and be patient. She'll learn to cooperate or have to pay for it.
