"I have custody of my 8 yr old grandson and have had him since he was 2 weeks old. Parents want to divorce and keep custody the same. Can they fill out packet for no children and no property in Florida?"

No - they should consult with an attorney.

In what court were you granted custody?

No - they should consult with an attorney.
I suspect that if they simply attach an additional piece of paper to the packet explaining that the only child of the marriage is currently in the legal custody of his/her grandparent, that it would be sufficient.

Circuit Court
Is that the same court in which they would be filing for divorce? If so, then the parents would have to list the child as being under the jurisdiction of that case. If not, then the parents would have to list the child as being under the jurisdiction of a different court. They would then be divorced as though they do not have a child.
