More details to this question:
We were made false promises and coerced into signing away our parental rights. Also, we were under the influence in court during that day. We want our parental rights back. The household he lives in currently is a very unsafe and unsanitary environment. And if need be our sons paternal grandmother is willing to take immidiate custody.

You need to make an application to the court detailing the things that make the environment that your son is living in unsafe. You also need to document all of the things that you have done to address any substance abuse issues you and your fiance were or are dealing with. the court is not going to immediately transfer custody. The court will look for compliance with all programs, and then allow supervised visitation, unsupervised, then overnights. Its a gradual process. Good Luck.
