What to do if a recent custody case involving my grandson and his parents, granted me 30 days of custody?
The CPS case worker had yet to release him into my care. He says there are background checks and other paperwork that must be done against me. They checked my fingerprints and background at court and that I’m clean. I have no background and I feel he is stalling by saying all this extra paperwork needs to be done. It is across states. Can you tell me or give some advice on this subject?

Given the fact that you will be given custody of your grandchild where you reside in a different state as the minor, what you have written is not unusual in the time it takes to get the necessary paper work in order via CPS for you to legally have custody of the minor. I would contact the case worker every several days to see what the status is.
