Here's a start CA Family Law Code

(a) Custody should be granted in the following order of preference according to the best interest of the child (1) To both parents jointly the court shall consider, among other factors, which parent is more likely to allow the child frequent and continuing contact with the noncustodial parent, (2) If to neither parent, to the person or persons in whose home the child has been living in a wholesome and stable environment. (3) To any other person or persons deemed by the court to be suitable and able to provide adequate and proper care and guidance for the child. (b) choose a parenting plan that is in the best interest of the child.

The grandmother would need to gain legal custody before she can petition the court for monetary support. Unless the court terminated the rights of the mother she probably would be ordered to pay child support. A "letter" is not sufficient documentation for transferring the care of a child/children to another person even a family member. A petition must be made to the court for temporary or permanent custody under the guidelines of the state of residency laws. Schools will not allow a child to be enrolled unless it is by the parent, legal guardian. Then there is the issue of medical care, and the before mentioned support, either through public assistance or by the parent(s).
