Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

I signed custody of my son over to my parents about a year ago. i have no job, but custody didn't change anything. i still take care of my son, although i'm paying child support to them. they try to use the custody against me, knowing i won't move out without my son and saying that my son is 'theirs'. what are my chances of gaining custody back? what do i have to do?
