You will need to file a motion with the court that issued the original order. Other requirements depend on your existing type of custody order. The court will need you to show a "material change in circumstances." You will need to provide evidence to support your claim of changed circumstances.
The Court will consider the "capacity and disposition of each party to provide the child with food, clothing, medical care, and other material needs." Capacity is not limited to whether the parent can afford to buy these things. A parent may have the ability to purchase them, but not the disposition to do so.
The court will determine an arrangement based on the best interests of the child. The court will generally make a joint custody determination. The court may grant sole custody if they determine by clear and convincing evidence that joint custody is not in the child's best interests.
