A: It depends on what your court order says. If the order grants you a defined schedule of visitation - alternate weekends from 6 pm Friday to 6 pm Sunday, for example - and your ex-wife is interfering with that schedule, you can file a rule to show cause in court to seek enforcement of that visitation provision. If, however, your court ordered visitation is simply "as the parties can agree", that's more difficult to enforce and usually requires the filing of a new case to request a defined schedule of visitation.

A: Although your question doesn't state where the agreement was entered into, I assume that it was done in South Carolina. Because your agreement was never court approved, it is not enforceable as a custody order. It would merely convey to your parents the authority to obtain medical care for your child and to enroll him in school. Your parents don't need to "sign him back over". You may wish to send your parents a letter revoking the agreement and keep a copy for your records.
