Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

My ex and I have a son who is 2 years old. She is currently in school out of state and I am here where my son is. She has not let me see him for the past 3 or so months even though I constantly ask her to. She has denied me this right. Instead, she leaves my son with her dad. If I recall, I didn't sign any document stating he was a legal guardian. She is gone for 5 months more or less, only visiting when she has break or on holidays. What can I do?
