You need to file a motion in the circuit court to change custody. If both parties agree to the change, then it is easy. If the other party objects to the change, then it is difficult to change custody, but not impossible.

You need a change of circumstances. Then you file for a hearing with the court.

If it is consensual an order can be entered. If not a hearing needs to be conducted and the judge will rule.

If the change is by agreement, you need to file a Motion and Agreed Order setting out the new arrangement. If it is not agreed, there are various factors the Courts will look at and you will likely need a Trial.
