Yes, a mother can fight for custody. Unfortunately, the courts are going to tell you no, if you can't prove the change in custody is beneficial to the child's well being.
There were reasons why the father was granted custody in the first place. Generally, there must be a change in circumstances in order to take the case back to court. If nothing has changed there is no reason for the court to spend time going over the same case again. Perhaps the mother can prove to the court that the factors leading the court to award custody to the father have been addressed. Perhaps the child is better off with the father. The mother needs to convince the court that a change in custody is in the best interest of the child and not the mother's interest.
