the father of my grandchild was given the right to take my granddaughter to his house and maybe given the right to keep her overnight he has made threats about taking her and not bringing her back . he is also a druggy and an alcohoic but the grand master still gave him more rights than my daughter. he wouldn't listen to our lawyer, but he gave most of the rights to him and he didn't have a lawyer

First - Having a lawyer doesn't mean "You win!".
Second - It is a hearing so "Appeal!".
Third - You didn't say one thing about your granddaughter. How can we compare them? He is a druggie and an alcoholic? But somehow judged better for your grandchild than your granddaughter. What is she doing?
Fourth - Children should not be removed from their homes, no matter which parent owns the home.
God bless you because this will be tough all the way around.

"Grand Master" is a Masonic rank. A "Master" or "General Master" is simply appointed by the court to take evidence and make recommendations. Only the Judge can enter orders. Generally, the parties are given a set term to object to a Master's report or recommendations, which objections must then be heard by the court.

The judge makes the final decision. The independent master just makes a recommendation. However, the recommendation is often taken very seriously.
So, who has more authority? The judge. Who has more influence on the outcome? it varies.

The Judge supercedes the grandmaster.
