Re: Custody
Unless the parties can agree, court proceedings are required.

Re: Custody
That's a very broad question. Are you married? Who has the child right now? Is a divorce action pending? Are you in Florida? Do you have visitation now and want more?
Custody generally starts with a petition for custody filed with the court (often as part of a divorce action).
