You will need to file for custody in the court with proper jurisdiction. If your mother, the child's grandmother, has legal custody you will need to file for a change of custody in whatever court initially granted your mother custody of your child. You will need to show that a change of circumstances has occurred and that the court granting you custody is in the best interest of the child. If the court has never officially granted Legal Custody to your mother, but has granted Temporary Custody to her all you will need to do is demonstrate that it is in the child's best interest that you have legal custody of the child.

Why does your mother have custody? Was by a court order or is it a voluntary arrangement? You should discuss your details with a Florida Child Custody lawyer to see what options you have.

It isn't clear what you mean by "full custody" and you don't explain why you need to do anything. If your Mom has a court order giving her custody or guardianship, you need to go back into that court case to get it changed. You should consult with a lawyer who can examine the actual situation and give you some idea of what you would have to do to change things. If your Mom doesn't have a court order, there is no legal way she can keep your child away from you until she gets one, so it isn't clear why you are needing to ask the question.
