It makes absolutelly no difference how I would punish it - the question is how is the JUDGE going to punish it? Judges have tremendous leeway when punishing direct contempt.

If I have in the divorce decree that my children are allowed no contact with my ex's girlfriend and she does see them what can I do?

If the court order prohibits your ex's girlfriend from contacting your children and she continues to do so, she is in contempt of court. You should make petition or appropriate application to the court to hold her in contempt and perhaps even fine her for not obeying a direct court order. You should also take whatever measures you can to stop the contact such as limiting as much as possible her opportunities to see the children. For example, if she visits them at school, the principal should be notified that is prohibited by court order.
