As a rule Grandparents rights have more to do with
a couple not allowing the Grandparents to see their grandchild. They can go to court and get visitation rights.
As was mentioned before me, what your grandparents need to do is become your legal guardians. Then
your mother could be sued for child support. As
was also mentioned, you will need a lawyer.
Good luck. :)
EDIT: You cannot just take money from her check
UNLESS you go through a legal process to do so.
A lawyer and a judge are the only ones who can do
that.

Your grandparents need to consult with a lawyer who practices family law. It's different from state to state what a judge can determine or award in these cases and the law says different things in each state about this or any legal matter for that matter. The state laws are all different as are the Canadian ones for this kind of thing.
I would imagine they would have to go to court and become your legal guardians and prove your mother unfit to raise you or grant you legal emancipation. As far as your mother having to pay for your food, clothing, living allowance this is an area that only a lawyer knows how to sue over and can tell your grandparents about that and pursue action for you.
