Re: child custody of grand children

You can file a petition for guardianship. This will cause the county to investigate your and the mother's home situations to determine which is best for the children. I don't know where you live, but there are low cost or free legal services to help in these situations, and if you email me at [email protected], I may be able to provide a referral.
