Both what happened and the reasons for it are a little unclear. It is also not clear what, precisely, you want to achieve. If the Decree really was issued over a year ago (in 2016), the time for appeal has long since passed. Obviously, a new motion to alter the custody orders could be filed at any time if there is a signficiant change in circumstances, and if the change is in the children's best interest. The actual statutory factors, and a lot of other information, is posted here.
