Re: custody
I presume you have joint custody and it was spelled out in the divorce decree. That being the case, the best and easiest method is for you to work it out with your ex-wife directly, one on one. Otherwise, to legally press the issue you could request the court modify the decree in regards to custody. To do so you'll need to make a legal argument and convince the court there has been:
1) a permanent, substantial and material change in circumstances; 2) the change in circumstances must adversely affect the best interests of the child; and 3) the temporal, moral and mental welfare of the child would be better off if custody is changed to the other parent as requested.
