You can file a court petition for custody of your daughter. If she is 16, and wants to live with you, a court would probably grant custody to you as long as you would be a fit custodian. If she is a little bit younger, the court would give serious consideration to her wishes. The fact that you apparently didn't try to fight your ex's refusal to allow you to have a relationship with her by going to court could be used by the grandmother to fight you. You need to consult with an experienced family lawyer over how to proceed, and if you are serious about this you will need to have legal representation.
