You would file a motion to change placement. If there has never been an order regarding placement, then you will be asking for an initial placement order. Depending upon the circumstances, the two parents will be sent to mediation, and if you are unable to reach an agreement in mediation, the court will appoint a guardian ad litem. The guardian ad litem is an attorney who is appointed to represent the child(ren) and will make recommendations for the placement arrangement that is in the best interests of the child(ren).
