Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa

We currently have my husbands son in his custody. He has been sick since wednesday his mother claims she took him to the doctor and they told her he has the flu. When we called there they said they havent seen him in 2 years (He is three now) We took him into the emergency room last night and found out that he has pneumonia. His mother wont give us his health records or insurance card. He has medicaid. We have also said we wanted to get health insurance through our work to cover him and she refuses. We personally dont think he has his shots up to date. He even said she never took him to the doctors. What should we do? Legal aid and Medicaid is closed until monday, and she wants him back Sunday morning. Should we keep him until we find out if she is even taking care of him like she is suppose to?

Get an opinion from the child's attending physician as to his care. Beyond that all you can do is try and enforce the custody and support order in court.
