Re: child custory
You would need to file a petition for custody based on a material change in circumstances to the extent that it will be in the best interest of the child to live with you. You REALLY should get a lawyer to help you with this. Whatever you do, ABIDE BY THE CUSTODY ORDER OR AGREEMENT FOR NOW, EVEN IF THE CHILD WANTS TO STAY WITH YOU until you have permission to do otherwise.
