The first step is to determine which state has jurisdiction, meaning, did the grandmother obtain custody through court in PA or Florida, if PA then you will need to consult with an attorney in PA. If Florida, then you need to obtain a copy of the court order to see if it provides for any visitation and/or restrictions, as well as requirements for you to complete in order to obtain custody of your son again. Once you have complied then you can request the Court to reunify you with your child and terminate the guardianship with the grandmother. The steps may be different in PA, so it is important to find out which state has jurisdiction.
