More details to this question:
I have been raising my six year old daughter since she has been born. Her mother has been in and out of jail and only reaches out to see our daughter maybe twice a year if that. She was recently placed under arrest and I now am looking to seek full custody for my child's safety.

If you and the mother of the child were never married, you need to file a Petition to Establish Paternity, Parenting Plan, and Child Support, and request that you have sole parental responsibility and 100% timesharing with the child. You will need to attend mediaiton and schedule the petition for trial if mediation is not successful.
