You haven't told me where the custody decree was issued, and that makes a difference. If it's in Ky, you'll have to employ a Kentucky attorney. Likewise here in Iowa you'd have to employ an Iowa attorney. Unless you can demonstrate a serious change in circumstances, the tendency is not to disturb existing custody arrangements.
