More details to this question:
Her Mother passed away 3 months ago and located in another State. He doesn't return to MN because of arrest warrants he has. She is now staying with the deceased Mothers Uncle. Because of my Son on being on the birth certificate they will not even let me see her. My Son wants me to have custody of her. I can't afford an attorney because I'm living on Disability. Please help me.

If he agrees then it can be reduced to writing and filed with the court.

You will have to file a petition for custody and submission to a DNA test.
