the judge will be asking the questions, but if the father contests the outcome it would be advised to get an attorney, to help. What state are we talking about, because child custody cases and laws differ from state to state. I can only tell you about Texas, that is where I have had my dealings with family court.

Legal Custody - the parent with legal custody can make all decisions regarding the health, welfare and education of the child.
Physical Custody - determines which parent has the actual, physical right to be with the child.
Sole Legal Custody - when one parent is awarded sole legal custody, that parent makes all decisions regarding the health, education and welfare of the child (and the other parent has no input on these decisions)
Sole Physical Custody - when one parent is given sole physical custody, the child remains with him/her and the other parent is excluded from having physical custody of the child (typically when the other parent has abused or neglected the child)
Joint Legal Custody - both parents participate in reaching decisions regarding the health, education and welfare of the child.
Joint Physical Custody - both parents have the ability to be with the child, typically joint physical custody is coupled with a parenting plan to determine who will be with the child at what particular time.
Shared Custody - both parents equally share the legal and physical custody of the child. Typically found only where both parents are able to resolve their personal differences and keep them in check for the sake of raising the child in a caring, nurturing environment.

The judge will ask questions and give you a chance to voice concerns, objections and other issues. I would prepare a list of any questions you have before you go. Being before a judge can be intimidating and you may forget when you get there. Good luck!

Well, as you are pro se, the person filing for modification is going to have to tell the judge why and the other gets to respond.
Most judges, when you are pro se, will help you out by asking!

The judge will be doing the questioning, but you need to be prepared with an unemotional, written statement with the facts you wish to be presented. The judge will read your statement and consider other documents. Do not go unprepared. Good Luck !
