Legal Question in Family Law in New York

legal custody

I have sole physical and joint legal custody of our son. My ex left the country on a 30-day ''permit'' from INS over 10 months ago for Romania. He did not file proper papers and now can not come back, apparently.

How do I go about proving this and get sole legal custody?
