There is no alimony to my wife. So decreasing her alimony isn't an option.

Then pay it!
That is the easiest and most cost effective way of getting it done.
Then as others have pointed out, go after your ex.
But in the mean time, if you have insurance on your child, have the insurance company send you an extra insurance card to send to your ex-wife.
You have a piece of paper from a judge called a divorce decree. That piece of paper only has meaning between you and your ex-wife, to put it bluntly, the rest of the world does not care.
Your ex-wife has chosen to ignore a court order. Your only option is to go back to court and have the judge order her to pay it. But she can choose to ignore that order too. You'll have a judgment against her, but you will have to try and collect.
For less than $600 do you really want to go through all that aggravation and expense and perhaps hear child saying, "daddy's taking mommy to court again".
