I'm just afraid the father and his grandmother might want to have second thoughts since the father asked me if he could start claiming our son on his taxes when the child has lived with me since he was born.

There are mountains of similar questions which have already been answered on this site. There is no full custody in Florida, it is called sole parental responsibility. This is very rare because the court must order shared parental responsibility.

in the context of a custody proceeding, you could ask the court for sole legal and physical custody. If your co-parent has not been involved with the child and has not provided support, there is a good chance a court would grant your request.
