Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

My ex husband and I divorced in PA and had a custody and child support agreement in that state. About 2 years ago, I relocated to MD with our two children. Since then, my ex moved to TN. What does this do to our custody agreement? What do I need to do to get paperwork in MD?
