In some cases an angry non-custodial or custodial parent uses the court system to harass the other parent by filing unfounded motions for contempt of court. An angry parent can make life miserable for the other parent (and child) for years, until the child support and visitation orders are no longer in effect.
There is no easy answer for this problem. The angry parent's relationship with their child is usually affected. Their inability to accept the situation resulting from the divorce and/or child support obligations affects everyone and feeds their anger. Sometimes nothing can be done. The parent who is being harassed should make certain they are always in compliance with existing court orders. They should seek the advice of an attorney if they can afford one or a court advocate.

What you do when the non-custodial parent hasn't followed the custody order?
The custodial parent must return to court and file a motion for contempt of a court order against the non-custodial parent.
Is it best to file multiple contempt charges at once in a child custody against non custodial parent?
Not if they are addressing the same issue.
What if the custodial parent hides the children from other parent?
If there is a legal order in place outlining custody and visitation rights for the non-custodial parent, the non-custodial parent may file an action against the custodial parent for contempt of court by failing to abide by that order. If the contempt continues, the judge may order a modification to custody giving it to the non-custodial parent, depending. If no legal order is in place, now would be a good time to file for one to protect the rights of everyone involved.
Can contempt of court charges be brought against the custodial parent for not fullfilling her obligation under the child support order?
Not likely, but there is an alternative. see links below
What happens when custodial parent drops kids off at non custodial parents house and leaves them?
Leaves them permanently or in violation of court ordered custody/visitation time? In either circumstances, the non-custodial parent may file an action for contempt of court against the custodial parent and/or file for custody/visitation modification based on the same.
What happens when a custodial parent leaves a designated location stated in the child support paperwork?
The non-custodial parent has the right to file a motion against the custodial parent based on the same. As a result, the non-compliant parent may be held in contempt of court. If they are, penalties may include a monetary fine, jail or modification to the original custody order.
Does the custodial parent have the right to with hold visitation?
Not if court ordered visitation is in place. Only the court can make modifications to such if cooperation from both parents cannot be obtained. A parent in violation of a court order is in contempt of court and the non-custodial parent may file an action against them in court based on the same.
Can a custodial parent obtain a restraining order against the noncustodial parent for relaying information concerning a custodial court case.?
I do not really understand the question. It seems like you want to know if the noncustodian parent can be prevented from relaying information to somebody else regarding a case involving a mutual child? Not enough information provided in the question, and did not list what jurisdiction (state)
What age do you have to be to choose not to visit your non custodial parent in Minnesota?
The child must be 18 in Minnesota before they can refuse court ordered visitation without getting the custodial parent in deep trouble. The non-custodial parent may file a motion of contempt against the custodial and if contempt is found, the custodial may be fined or jailed as a result. If the contempt becomes chronic, the courts may go so far as to modify custody and give it to the non-custodial. However the child is always free to make their wishes known to the judge, either in court when custody/visitation is being decided or request a modification to the original visitation order by requesting a meeting with the judge, writing a letter to the judge expressing their wishes, or engaging an attorney or guardian ad litem to speak for them. The judge will take into consideration the wishes of the child, and generally, the older the child, the more weight is given to those wishes. Ultimately, however, the judge will rule depending on what he or she feels would be in the best interests of the child.

What to do when the non custodial parent will not bring the child home after visitation is over?
It depends on how custody is established. If the mother has primary custody then she can contact the police who have jurisdiction in the area where the non compliant parent resides and have them accompany her to the residence to get the child. The mother will need to present the custodial order at the time of the requesting of assistance. If custody is joint, the mother will likely need a court order to have the child returned to her home, unless she has proof that the children are being held against their will or their safety is being jeopardized (often difficult to prove to the satisfaction of authorities).
What do you do if your child does not come on a court ordered visit?
You would file an action against the custodial parent in the court of jurisdiction for contempt of court for failing to abide by a court order. That can have some rather unpleasant consequences for both the non-compliant child and their parent, unfortunately.
