The procedure for custody are:
1. If there is a pending divorce petition in the family court then, the Judge has the right to decide on the right to custody in the divorce proceeding only. Both parties need to submit their claims/denial for the custody rights via affidavit. In this affidavit since you want the custody and your wife wants to surrender her right to permanent custody need to sit together with your lawyers and file a single affidavit on terms of custody.
2. You can also move a separate petition under Guardian and Wards act.

Do consult if required.
