My son's ex gave temporary guardianship to her mother with a notarized letter behind my son's back. She took him to another state and refuses to bring him back, his ex is in a halfway house, is this legal?

Probably not illegal, but your son has priority in getting the child as he is the father. He needs to act soon. The more time that passes with the child in temporary custody with the grandmother, the more chance she may develop custody standing and rights.
