A: You have to file a motion to modify your prior order if you have one. Otherwise, you can initiate legal action to have an order rendered.
A: If your ex is the managing conservator, then you will need to file a motion to modify conservatorship (custody) appointing you as the managing conservator and the ex possessory with supervised visitation. If you are the managing conservator then you need a motion to enforce and writ of attachment to get your child back, and also if ex is supposed to have unsupervised visits, ask for a modification requesting only supervised visitation. Of course, the outcome of all of this will be dependent on your background as well. Best to hire family law attorney.
