Based on your question, I assume you are divorced. You do not state where the mother or children lilve. You will need to go back to the state where you obtained your dissolution/divorce or where the children have lived for the past six months to file a motion to modify custody and parenting plan. If your children are not in the original state state where the dissolution/divorce is located, then you will have to file your original judgment decree in the state where the children are.
