Re: child custody change
You might want to start with a consultation with an attorney who practices domestic relations law in that particular court where the custody order was entered and who should be able to advise you as to whether there's been a material change in the factors affecting custody that would be sufficent to impel the Court to change it's current order to award you physical custody of the child(assuming that is your objective).
