In some states a petition can be filed by the primary custodian to amend the current custodial order.
The usual procedure is to file a new custody suit/petition in the appropriate state court in the county where the petitioner resides.
Judges are very reluctant to grant sole custody to one parent.
It is generally granted only when the non custodial parent agrees to relinquish their parental rights or a parent is found guilty of abuse and/or neglect and/or endangerment.

If the children live with their mother in Florida and the father never established his paternity legally, a Georgia court would have no jurisdiction over the children. Their mother has sole legal custody. If the father wants to establish his "parental rights" he will need to establish his paternity where the children are domiciled. Once he has established that he is their father he can request joint custody or a visitation order and the mother can request a child support order if the children are to remain in her physical custody.If the parties want to make the change in custody by consent of the parties he should consult with an attorney to determine how that can be accomplished.If the children live with their mother in Florida and the father never established his paternity legally, a Georgia court would have no jurisdiction over the children.

Get over it..the kid doesnt want you!
That's not up to the child. That is up to the courts. And temporary custody would have to go to the court system. If the mother does not already have partial custody of the child, chances are she will not be able to unless something happens to the father. And it also depends on what the charges are against her and how old she is.
This would be decided in court. Other family members (grandparents, aunt & uncles, etc.) could also petition for custody.
Yes, a mother can fight for custody. Unfortunately, the courts are going to tell you no, if you can't prove the change in custody is beneficial to the child's well being.There were reasons why the father was granted custody in the first place. Generally, there must be a change in circumstances in order to take the case back to court. If nothing has changed there is no reason for the court to spend time going over the same case again. Perhaps the mother can prove to the court that the factors leading the court to award custody to the father have been addressed. Perhaps the child is better off with the father. The mother needs to convince the court that a change in custody is in the best interest of the child and not the mother's interest.
