You need to take these steps:
1. Hire a family law attorney to help you through this process. It's not simple.
2. File a Petition for Divorce and ask for Temporary Orders naming you as the conservator with the exclusive right to designate the primary residence of the child.
3. Negotiate a settlement.
4. Mediate if you can't settle.
5. Finalize your divorce.
The first two steps are the most critical.
