Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa

child modification

My ex has had custody for 4 years due to lack of me having a competant attorney, and I need to know what step I need to make to get that modified. I looked into it 2 years ago and it was going to cost $5,000 just to get an attorney to file the motion. Also, with the girls being 6 and 9 how much of a chance do I have in them testifying?
