You have to petition the court for a modification. To be successful, you need to prove that there has been a material and substantial change in circumstances concerning the child. You will need a good family law attorney who can help you to develop these facts.
You should know that it is usually difficult to get a judge to allow you to move if that will restrict the other parent's time with the child. Getting a better job or getting married to someone from out of the area usually won't get you there.
