Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Divorce and family
If my mom does not have full custody of me but i have not seen my dad if four years, could my mom get into legal trouble if she allowed me to move back to Colorado? If so, is there anything I can do so I can finish high schoool where I started?

This question appears to be a restatement of one I answered yesterday. Until you reach the age of 18 and can make decisions on your own, you have to reside with the parent designated by the court as the primary residential parent. The only exception would be for that parent to agree to allow you to live with the other and the non residential parent being in accord with this decision.
Other than that, your only recourse is to file for emancipation with the court. It can be a costly process as outlined in an earlier question asked by another party.
