I am a family member that has full legal custody of a my grandychildren because both parents were found unfit by a Juvenile Court and Children Services agreed because of "best interest of the child" The parents were given 22 month to work a court order caseplan, but failed to comply so I was given custody of the children.

That's up to a judge, but why would it matter?
You need an attorney in Florida who specializes in family law.
some have done it, but it's not recommended. see links below ADDED: The questioner does not make clear if they are the parent, or the minor, that is asking the question. If you are the parent - see the above answer - if you are the minor - no, you cannot.
The guidelines are basically the same in every state but obviously there are a few minor differences. Joint custody consists of Primary Custody & Secondary Custody. The parent with primary custody is who the child lives with & the other parent has secondary custody. Depending on the age of the child & the state in which they reside, the court may let them determine where they choose to live. Or if both parents agree on the child's decision then the child can live with either parent.
Yes, my family member is traveling with a parent who does not have full legal custody. It's important to ensure that the traveling parent has the necessary documentation, such as a notarized letter of consent from the non-custodial parent, to avoid any legal issues during the trip. This helps clarify the travel arrangements and confirms that both parents are aware of and agree to the travel plans.
You are a grandparent since you have not adopted the child but your role is to do what a mother does as well. The biological parents can very well have visitation. You and your grandchild are definitely a family.
You file a motion in the appropriate venue. FYI, the law generally awards custody to the parent(s) or, failing that, grandparent(s) or other suitable member of the extended family.

Usually a family member or a close family friend will tell a child when a parent (or both parents) die :(
In most cases, a child cannot be taken by another family member without the consent of both parents or legal guardians. If one parent chooses to take the child without the other parent's consent, it may be considered kidnapping or a violation of custody agreements. It is important to consult legal counsel for specific advice based on individual circumstances.
An intact family can't do that. A juvenile detention is related to the commission of a crime, so only the court does that. You can give up the child to family services, but the other parent can challenge for custody.

It is not an automatic switch. However, the non custodial parent may file to take custody. If this is not an option another family member may step up.
If the step parent files for custody, and the judge awards custody of the child to them.
