Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

I am a grandmother. I live in South Carolina. My son who has full custody of my grandson came to visit from Texas. He was planning on returning to Texas to retrieve his property because of his separation and return for his son in a couple of days. In that time he was also supposed to arrange for he and his son to move to another location. It has been about a month now. In this time we have barely heard from him and when we did, we found out that he was attacked by his girlfriend and hit in the back of the head 10x with a hammer. My son was hospitalized and released. He made contact with us a couple of times but only to ask for money. He would discuss nothing further. We believe he is back with this woman of which my 13yr old grandson is petrified of. We also believe through his owm prior admission to his son that he is heavy into cocaine. How do I sue to get custody (temp) to be able to provide my grandson with some stability as well as school enrollment? Thank you in advance for your help.

I can't give you legal advice because I do not know all the details of your case. However, if you contact an attorney, he or she can file a complaint for custody of your grandchild on your behalf. The attorney will need to know more details to give you an idea of how strong your case is or other information needed to prove your case. But the first step is to contact an attorney, give them all details of the case (good and bad) and decide if you want to file a complaint for custody.
