( CNN ) -- The 5-year-old son of country music singer Mindy McCready has been recovered and is in good health in the custody of officials in Arkansas , a spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Children and Families told CNN Friday . `` We 're working with local law enforcement and the Arkansas ( Division of Children and Family Services ) and we 're going to bring him home to Florida to his legal guardian as soon as possible , '' Terri Durdaller said about the boy , Zander . Mindy McCready 's assistant said the singer turned Zander over to the Arkansas authorities and that he would be returned to her on Monday . `` She 's looking forward to having her case heard in front of an unbiased courtroom , '' the assistant said . `` She has a 99 % chance of her child leaving with her on Monday morning . '' She described Zander as `` very OK. '' But Mindy McCready 's mother and stepfather , Gayle and Michael Inge , have legal custody of the boy and the singer has only visitation rights . `` We 're relieved , '' they told CNN . `` We feel sorrow for Zander because he 's traumatized , and for Mindy . We just hope she does the right thing from here on out and that this is a wake-up call for her . '' The boy was located hours after Gayle Inge made a public plea for her daughter to obey a court order to return her son to the care of the Inges . The imbroglio started when McCready , who has fought a public battle against drug addiction , took her son from her father 's Florida home . This week , a Florida judge ordered McCready to return the boy to authorities . When she did not comply , another judge issued an emergency `` pickup order , '' authorizing officers to pick up the boy . The singer was ordered to produce Zander and failed to do so . Though McCready said that the boy was with her , authorities considered him to be missing . McCready 's publicist issued a statement , saying McCready `` has not been charged with illegal wrongdoing . '' `` Ms. McCready 's No . 1 priority has always been , and continues to be , the safety of her son , '' publicist Kat Atwood said . McCready has asked a court to restore custody to her out of concern over the boy 's safety , Atwood said . McCready burst on the music scene in 1996 with the debut album `` 10,000 Angels '' and the chart-topping country hit `` Guys Do It All the Time . '' Her website biography says she 's had romances with musician David Malloy and actor Dean Cain , and touches on her career stalling , as well as her having an `` explosive relationship '' with Billy McKnight , the boy 's father , who is himself a country singer . McCready participated in the 2009 season of the reality TV show `` Celebrity Rehab With Dr . Drew . '' CNN 's Tom Watkins , Phil Gast , Michael Martinez , Selin Darkalstanian , Dave Alsup and Vivian Kuo contributed to this report .
