You need to file a stipulation changing the custody order. Check with the family court regarding a clinic to assist you with the preparation of a stipulation.

You need a Stipulation & Order Re: Modification of Judgment. I do not think there is a judicial council form for this. Our paralegal department does them all of the time for self represented parties.
Whoever does this for you, you will need to provide them with a "conformed copy" of the underlying Order you are trying to modify. Once signed by all parties, it is submitted to the court without the necessity of a court appearance.
If you need further information, you are welcome to contact me directly.
Good luck to you!
