Legal Question in Family Law in California

My ex-husband adopted my son when he was 7 years old. That same son, now 31 years old and an alcoholic and bi-polar, had a son out of wedlock named J. I, being the Paternal Grandmother, am the Legal Guardian of J and am divorced. My ex does not go by my wishes by the way I am raising J and I no longer am letting him take my grandson. What are his rights and can he make me give visitation although he originally forbid me from caring for my grandson at birth and then fought against me getting Legal Guardianship after that.
