Im not new to MSE just registered again due to family knowing other

to cut a long story short my grandchildren have been living with me and their father for the past 5 months
social workers removed them from the mothers care as situations were getting worse and supports my sons application for residency

As my son is young the sw now says to save going back to court agai if my son cant cope i should apply for residency for a year so my son can gain the confidence which i can understand but the problem is i have a criminal record (12 years ago) and my son does not
I dont want it ruining my sons chances and the children end up in care as they wont be going back to their mother at this present time
his solicitor cant see why it cant be a joint applicant as there is nothing against my son and his proven he provides the care for the children
Any advice please as we are due in court soon and i dont know what to do for the best
