How did you end up with custody?

What do the custody orders say - word for word (minus names please)?

Is Mom with your grandson?

i got custody because she dropped him off when he was one and didnt come back..so when we thought she got her life together we let her have 50/50.
the new agreement states my son and me parternal grandmother are to have him 4 days and the mother is to get him 4 days and so on,which of course she never kept up with,,,so my son made the mistake of taking her back after 7 years
Yes the mother is staying with her mother where my grandson is

So it's actually Mom who has the child and there's already a 50/50 timeshare (more or less) in place. Okay. So, go back to court. Calling them won't help - you'll actually have to file a motion to show cause in order for the court to find her in contempt.

The police won't help, since custody is a civil matter.

Please clarify - is your son supporting Mom?

no my son is living with me, when i threw her out. he was done with her, so thats why she is mad. so she is trying to hold my grandson because he no longer wants to be with her..im so afraid for my grandson and her other daughter their mother is a really bad drug addict, to the point she has passed out several times in the yard.i mean the worst of the worst (syringes).. how long will this take through the courts

I still really would like to know exactly how custody is worded - it may make a difference to the responses you will receive here.

oh her mother took my grandson to her house, while her daughter was staying in a motel bcuz her mother did not want her there, she just went to stay at the mothers the last couple of days.

the mother shall have the subject child for four days followed by four days with the father followed by three days with the mother followed by three days with the father and so on transition for the child shall occur at the end of the school days or at 3:15 p.m. on nonschool days

So the order says nothing about YOU. Your son will have to attempt to pick up his son and if mom won't turn him over, he will need to go to court and file for contempt.
