You might need to go down to the Department of Social Services. Make sure that the person you are staying with comes along. That way they will know that you are being taken care of. Good luck and God Bless:) * The only legal option is to file for guardianship in the probate or circuit court in the city or county where the minor now resides. Social service agencies will not remand a child into the custody of a non relative without a court order allowing the action. Please be advised, no action will be taken until an investigation has been completed by the state's department of children's and family services (CPS, DFS). If the situation is warranted the information will be submitted to the juvenile or family court for further action. Guardianship is seldom granted unless both parents have been deemed unfit and the court terminates their parental rights to the child.

Can my grandson move out and live with another family we have custody of him now and his parents have passed on?

You haven't provided his age or the details of the "other family". He can make that decision when he reaches eighteen years of age. If he is still a minor the parents in the other family would need to establish legal custody in the court where you obtained custody. You would need to relinquish custody.
