All I can suggest to you is that you file an application to be appointed as guardian of your grandchildren through the childrens court protection division.
You will need to see a Solicitor about filling out the applications.
Here is the Childrens Court Website for your assstance.

You should also contact legal Aid and see if they will fund your application
I hope this is of assistance and if so please click on the accept button
