You haven't found relief because you're not going about this in the right way.  First, every state has a statute that says the custodial parent must give written notice (usually 30 days) before moving.  If she moves without notifying you, file for a contempt hearing.

If she is witholding visitation that is court ordered you have another case of contempt.  You must go and file for contempt and prove that you have attempted to exercise your court ordered visitation and she has denied it.  You will need proof, such as an e-mail from her saying you cannot pick up the child, or a police report saying that you arrived for visitation and the child was not turned over.

Go talk to a lawyer and find out what the steps are.
