You need to talk to a qualified family law attorney. There are far to many additional questions that need to be asked before someone can give you an opinion.

What state do you live in? What is the other state? What type of "legal custody" do you have (Texas does not recognize the term "custody"; it might include conservatorship, possession, etc., all of which are something different)? Does any party still live in the original state? What was the result of the child abuse and neglect investigation?

Without knowing the answers to these, and many more questions, it is impossible to guess at your situation.
