Question: A court order saying I could have contact with my mother was violated. Do I have legal recourse?
Answer: In your specific case, you will need to seek legal advice from an attorney.
Generally 'Court Orders' are just that -- ORDERS! If they are violated, usually the person has recourse and can do something about it.
For example, if a court orders a parent to pay child support and the parent does not, the Court can impose sanctions in the form of fees and/or jail time.
Another example is where the court orders a mother to help/assist her children in calling their father every Sunday night. If the calls aren't made, the mother faces sanctions by the court.
