In a situation such as yours, you need to consult with a family
attorney. He's playing a game that you could lose.

Visitation is spelled out in the decree and he cannot deny you
if you have visitation rights. If he is, then **he's** in
contempt and you (or your attorney) can level charges against
him. Fight fire with fire. When he finds out that you're not
going to sit back and be bullied, or play his silly little mind-
games, he'll change his tune.

The balls in your court - hire an attorney!
