You can petition to modify child custody. You will have to justify why it is in the childs best interest to change the existing order. This means going back to court for a hearing. Except for emergencies, most jurisdictions will limit how often you can ask for custody modifications.
In the US, women are awarded full custody more often because they request it more often. More fathers are starting to request primary custody or equally shared custody though, and they are getting it in equal proportions to mothers when they request it.
On average, the mother receives around 65% of custody time, while the father typically gets around 35%. In only 18% of cases do the parents agree that the father should have custody.
The parent should file a petition with the family court requesting the custody transfer. The petition should include reasons for the transfer and any relevant supporting documents. Notify the other parent (if applicable) and any other parties involved in the childs life, as required by law.
You have probably heard somewhere that family courts are biassed in favour of women. This might surprise you, but it is very common for men to simply not want custody. In 91% of custody cases, the parents mutually decide to give custody to the mother. Fathers fight for custody in court in less than 4% of divorces.

In cases where a court order is already in place, CPS cannot simply override it without going through the proper legal procedures. They must adhere to the existing court order unless there are substantial grounds for intervention to protect the child.
