In order to enforce a court order by contempt of court, the order typically must be signed and the party against whom the order is being enforced must have actual notice of its contents.In divorce cases, the written temporary order memorializing the associate judge's rulings at the temporary order hearing is typically prepared by the petitioner/movant's attorney and circulated to the respondent's attorney to be approved as to form or to make any objections within a couple of days after the temporary order hearing. If there are no objections to the form of the order, it is typically signed by the judge within a week of the hearing.  A temporary visitation order can also be enforced by means other than contempt of court, for example by giving make-up visitation time to the parent deprived of a scheduled visit.Sometimes, for strategic reasons, it is unwise to ask the court to strictly enforce a court order against the other party because the violation itself might be evidence of something you want to show the court about the other party that may enhance your case or weaken their case.  

If your wife hasn't exposed your son to anything inappropriate, the issues of managing conservatorship, child support and possession and access will be determined by the evidence and the law. The court would determine what is in the best interest of the child, not based on the mom's participation in consentual adult activity, but on how you two have parented the child. Who gets the child up in the mornings? Who feeds the child? Who takes the child shopping for new clothes? Who take the child to the doctor and dentist? Who meets with the teachers? Etc. If you both provide equal parenting, some courts will consider a 50/50 possession schedule. You have to be careful when you approach the court with accusations against your spouse. Shaming the other parent because of their consensual adult activity doesn't always get you what you want. It's just one of many factors the court MIGHT consider in determining what's best for the child. The focus should be on the child and on how the two of you have been parents for the child's whole life.
