You start by re-opening the case where the orders were originally entered. This can be with a simple motion to enforce and/or modify. After the case is reopened, you can then file a motion to transfer the case. Venue will follow the child-- this means that you will probably end up resolving the custody dispute in the state where your ex- lives.
