My child's mother is currently in jail for selling/using drugs. She was just arrested for robbery and grand theft conveyance. She and I live in different states. She never takes care of him. She just lets her parents take care of my child. What do I have to do to get full custody of my child? How long will it take before I can get him?

See a lawyer. It is complicated. You should have the right to get custody, but you need to determine if the grandparents will fight you on this, do they actually have legal standing to do so? You probably need to hire a lawyer in the jurisdiction mom lived with the child.
