5 yr old daughter refuses to visit with father

My ex and I separated when my 5 year old was about to turn 3. We have 2 daughters who have been visiting him every other weekend since July 2004. He remarried in the Spring and for the past 3 weekend visits, I have had to carry her while she screams and put her in the car. She won't visit with him, hides under the bed, refuses to speak with him on the phone and cries. Once she is at his house, she gets along fine. It's getting her there that is stressful. She has to sit/stand/walk beside me constantly and showers me with affection.
I have used homeopathy with her since she was born, can't seem to wrap my brain around this behaviour.
Please help!!

Thank you so much for your response.
She is very tearful in the days/hours leading up to his arrival. The night before her weekend visits, she wakes at least once crying that she doesn't want to go away. When he arrives, she grabs onto anything she can (bed post, my leg, door frame)and refuses to leave the house. She tells me she is scared of her father (he has a loud voice) when he yells, and this is why she doesn't want to go to his house She has been waking with dreams/growing pains in her right leg at around 4 a.m. for the past few nights. With me, she is trying to be helpful and looking for praise, however with her sister she is very argumentative.
Lately, she has been exhibiting fear of the dark more (when fallihg asleep, she needs some light in her room), she has been extremely clingy to me and sitting on my lap at every opportunity (whether she is happy or sad) and has been very whiny. She has said, more than once, 'I love YOU mommy. ONLY YOU.' I have a large family with many who love her, and I remind her of this but she says I am the only one.
I hope this is enough information. If not, I will provide more.

I would worry about her treatment in fathers house .

Are you sure 'she gets along fine' ?

When I ask her and her sister how they are once they're at their father's, they say 'Fine, I guess, kind of sort of good, bad'. How they've explained it in the past is that they are OK while there, but they miss me and wish they were home.
Their father is a 'yeller', that's how he disciplines. They are not used to his yelling, and he and his wife are not used to having young children in the home (they are worried for their new floors, walls, furniture, cat). It's pretty typical of 'weekend-parenting'.
