Childs mother doesn't have a job. Is there a way that my son can get emergency legal custody or myself until we can get custody papers filed?

No, there is not. Your son has to request custody and obtain a hearing date. He should seek an attorney to do this. If you are seeking custody, alleging that the child's parents are unfit, then you should see an attorney. You should not both see the same lawyer regarding your individual rights.
