Possibly, depending on the circumstances of his non-compliance and whether or not the court feels it would be in the best interests of the child for him to be granted custody. Generally, however, a parent's refusal to abide by court ordered visitation is not favorable unless the non-compliant parent can present compelling evidence to the contrary.

You should return to the court that issued the custody order and request a visitation schedule.
