How do I give my mother full custody of my 16 year old?

Is your mother willing to take over custody? Why do you want to?

She goes to Family court and files a petition for custody.

Where is the father of the child ?

Because she is an out if control teen and my mom said let her come live with my, ill be rresponsible for her

Yes, she was the one who said she wants full custody.

I would give her temporary guardianship. This is fairly easy to do, you can find a form on the WEB to do this, sign it and have it notarized and she can use that to prove she can make decisions affecting the child.

You can then go to court to establish custody.

The court may require the father be contacted.

That doesn't matter. He still is part of the legal equation. For some things he may need to be contacted and in many cases such as adoption or a name change the courts will order you to do so.
