File a Request for Orders, indicating what you want changed and why it should be changed. If the two of you can't settle the case, the Judge will hear the evidence at your hearing date and decide what, if anything, should be modified.

You would have to file a Motion to Modify Custody and Child support. In your motion, you need to state what circumstances have change since the rendition of the most recent judgment to justify a modification of custody and child support.

You would have to file a Motion to Modify Custody, this is a lengthy process which would require more facts in order to state if you may be successful with this or not. Child support can be modified upon a change of circumstance (income reduction or increase of 20%) or a passage of 3 years time.
