Peoria, IL asked in Divorce, Family Law, Child Custody and Child Support for Illinois

Q: If a child is being watched at dad's house by grandparents while mom works does that mean he gets primary custody?

I just got a divorce Jan 2017. We split custody. He moved in with his parents and i got a full time job m-f 8-430. His parents volunteered to watch my son while i work and the other days he goes to daycare. I am with my son every second im not working and it is my day to have him. I got papers taking me to court yesterday saying since my son is at his house that he is primary parent and they want to change that and child support. He just moved out of his parents after a year. Does this mean he really is primary parent?
