You can continue to report the alleged abuse, but custody changes not related to county/state intervention will depend on your son.

In the abstract world of all that is hypothetical, virtually anything is possible.

That said, obviously, once a court has issued an order, the only way to change the order is for the court to issue a new order (or some sort of errata notice if the change is simply the correction of a typo), in which case, the court will give notice to all parties.

My son and his girlfriend gained custody of my Grand kids

Your grandchildren...meaning...their own children? Or are these grandchildren of yours the children of some other child of yours? If the latter, how is it that your son and his GF acquired custody of these kids?

the children are being abused

Have you called the police and child protective services to report the alleged abuse?

how do I help them get removed from her home

First of all, why isn't your son seeking custody? Is there a subsequent custody order that gave her sole custody? If he wants to change the custody situation, then he needs to take appropriate action in the family court. Second, if you haven't already done so, you need to report the alleged abuse to the police and child protective services.

I have tried to make a report with nothing moving forward

Of course not. You have no rights in the matter.

This is for your son to handle and he is going to need a lawyer.

If you want to help, pay for the lawyer, but the rest is up to him.

Maybe.

It is unclear, based on the title of this thread, whether your son is the legal father. What do you mean by "non-biological partner"?

If your son is not the legal father, then custody is irrelevant as far as he is concerned.

If a judge deems that a change of custody orders is in the best interest of the child, then custody orders certainly be changed without "permission". When mediation fails and a judge becomes involved, there's going to be a result that at least one party could not agree with.

Can custody orders be changed without the other party knowledge

Only in terms of an emergency hearing - but that will be followed in short order by a hearing where the other party can/will be heard.

Absent an emergency filing? The other party (*) must be served according to state law.
(*)If the petitioner is a third party (like... a grandparent... ), BOTH parents will need to be served.

Be aware that the court may not be comfortable placing the children with nonparents out of state.
