What exactly do your custody orders state?

Did you have joint custody with Dad? Did he have sole?

Jennifer, first of all, God bless.
How is your son doing?
How old is he?
Please, for your son's sake go slow with this.
A death of a parent is traumatic for children.
A death of this sort can be devestating.
So, allow your son to grieve.
Make no hasty decisions, and be supportive of the grandfather.
After all, he has lost a son.
Speak with a grief counselor or pscychologist before you proceed.
And, please expound on Prosperina's queries.

You should get custody since Dad is deceased. The grandparents are legal strangers and probably cannot keep the child legally. I would do retreive the child, and ask the police to assit you that is, if you are capable of raising the child. The grandparents can file for custody if you don't do anything.

go get your son

you are now your sons legal custodian. get the police to go get your son. grandpa cannot keep him from you because this is not his child.

The OP indicated that dad had sole custody.

Custody cam be returned to mom, but that is going to take court intervention, absent a will or a power of attorney to the contrary.

The police will see this as a civil matter.

The OP will most likely need a lawyer, unless she can work out an arrangement with the grandfather.

The OP seems to have her head on straight and is handling this properly for the moment.

She knows that it is about the lad, who just lost his dad.

I agree - though it's possible dad has only sole PHYSICAL custody and not legal, in which case Mom should have no problem.

the longer the child stays with grandpa, the more likely it is that he will file for custody and possibly win. since she is the surviving parent, custody goes to her. she has the right to raise her child, grandpa does not.

You may find, lonely, that if Dad had SOLE LEGAL AND PHYSICAL custody, that Mom might have a hard time simply walking in. While she's the sole surviving parent, if Grandpa refuses access (and the police may refuse to get involved, it being a civil matter) Mom may indeed need the court's help.

Thoughts are with you and your son, OP.
