You can move to have him held in contempt. However, you will have to prove that the grandfather and uncle were under the influence.

You will need to file another motion with the court asking that your ex be found in contempt and other relief.

First, you have to have proof this is happening, as your ex and the child's grandfather and uncle will simply deny your allegations. Once you have your proof, you should file a complaint for contempt. A contempt states that he violated the court order. You can ask that his parenting time be restricted, reduced or terminated.
