Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I am trying to find out what it is I need to do to petition the court to terminate a temporary custody order.
My mom has temporary custody of my son and now his father and I would like to have joint custody back.

You will almost certainly have to get a lawyer. This is not a simple process.
Temporary orders are always subject to review at any time. In others words, you are always allowed to file a motion for modification (or termination) of temporary orders for any good reason. You should hire an attorney to assist you.
It really depends on the nature of the order and the reasons behind it. A temp order is modifiable. If we can show the court that there has been a change of circumstances and that giving you parental responsibility would be in the best interest of the child, then the court should terminate or modify the order. The law in Florida changed in 2008 and we now deal in terms of levels of "parental responsibility". It is certainly something that you would need a good attorney to help you with. I hope that this helps...good luck.
