Since my daughters address and school have already been changed to my address, do I need to involve the court, if so, what do I do next?

More details to this question:
My ex has recently agreed to give me physical custody of our 7 year old daughter based on our daughter's desire to live with me. Our daughter made this decision based on her mother pulling her hair, selling drugs, being "sick", and a lot of fighting in the home. We have an existing custody order in from when we were divorced about 5 years ago. We have verbally agreed to modifications many times.

You should probably have a consent order drafted by an attorney and signed by a judge which confirms the new custody arrangement. Sometimes a situation arises-such as medical-where the provider want to see the order so he knows the presenting parent is authorized to act on behalf of the child.
