This is a job for an attorney, and it is possible to gain a temporary change if the circumstances warrant it, pending a full investigation and permanent modified order.

While the things you mention are relevant to the court's ultimate decision, they do not create a ground for an emergency hearing.

You would file a Motion for Emergency Hearing and during that hearing you would state the reasons for requesting the hearing such as custody.

Your local Friend of the Court office may have a standard form for you to use. Otherwise, a Motion is simply a request of the court to take certain action. You would caption it with the case caption and then simply set forth the facts as to why a change in custody is in the best interests of the child. You should also include facts to show there is a change in circumstances and/or proper cause since the last custody order for the court to review custody at this time.

This forum is unable to teach you how to practice law. To a certain extent, an emergency motion is no different from any other motion and the hard part is the writing things to accurately and thoroughly state what you are asking for and why.
