Yes he can. The grandfather, the agent for the soldier may initiate the action. How far it gets may be determined by service member relief act. The court could stay the action and order mom to stay put or leave the child in the court's jurisdiction.
For more specific information you should contact the JAG officer handling your deployment legal issues.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
