Unless the hearing that you have coming up is the first hearing on the child custody matter it will be very difficult to change the venue of the matter from one county to another. One option is to possibly file a motion to recuse the judge who will be hearing the matter.
If you do not have a family law attorney representing you in the matter I suggest that you consult with one well before the hearing.
