Your original post states, "We found out yesterday that his ex wants to file a motion to modify child support because he's not been exercising all of his allotted parenting time."
My guess is that travel expenses for your husband may be taken into consideration for child support determination, especially if the mother is not required to pay for meeting the father halfway and the distance is considerable. If he isn't exercising his rights, then she should have the right to modify child support and the visitation schedule based upon his past track record. If it's only affordable to visit every other month for the father, then the amount of child support and the visitation order should reflect that.
My point was that the excuse should really not matter. The child needs to be a priority. Period. If dad's recouperating from a car accident and the child wants to see dad on the scheduled day, figure out a way to make that possible.
A child this young does not usually understand excuses and so it's important to go great lengths to keep visits if it's ordered to visit once every three weeks.
If the father can't keep with that, it's time to change the order so that it can be followed precisely, and quick picking and choosing when convenient. This doesn't mean that the order will be every other month forever. Show that he can keep with those visitations, and then ask for more.
I realize we all have money issues at one time or another, but it comes down to it being a matter of priority.
