Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

temp custody or guardianship

My grandson is 12 years old and has been with me since May. His mother has no place to live. We have tried calling her to get the important papers for him to start to school and she keeps putting me off as if she just does not care. What do i need to do to get temp custody or guardianship of him ? And what does it cost ? I live on a very tight fixed income.
