Is there an order of Paternity? Is there a child support order? You have not really provided sufficient information to allow a thorough reply. You are always best served by discussing these matters with an experienced family law attorney. As a grandparent there are actions you could take through the court. A.R.S section 25-409 sets out the rights of third parties with respect to minor children.

You don't mention the mother's situation. Simply having the POA doesn't give you the ability to take the children.

None. You might be able to claim some visitation, but if you want to make it work, I suggest you be nice and friendly with mom.

It would depend on exactly what your POA says so you should consult with an attorney to have them review that document to be sure. But typically a general POA will not include custody. That is either spelled out in a Will or actual custody agreement.
