More details to this question:
I live in Arkansas. My daughter died in May 2012. Since she was a single parent and her and my granddaughter lived with me. The courts granted me grandparent’s rights. Her father is hostile towards me so the court order went as follows. The second weekend of every month, every Mother's Day, 4 weeks in the summer (2 two week intervals), every other Thanksgiving, 48 hours over the Christmas holiday, and reasonable phone visitation.

If you don't agree to modify what is on the judgment, you have the right to make him stick to the judgment. If he refuses, you can file a rule for contempt with the court that granted you the visitation. The judge can fine or imprison him for failing to comply with the judgment, in addition to granting you attorney fees for the necessity of filing the rule.

The father is required to follow the order or you can file a motion for contempt.

If you all cannot agree and he doesn't follow the court order then you may take him to court to enforce the order get attorney fees from him and perhaps makeup visitation.
