You have not provided enough information in order to fully answer. For example, is custody now controlled by a Court order? Would your son indicated that he preferred to live with you? Once a child has reached 12 years of age, you can ask the judge to interview the child in chambers to determine his preference. There are also consequenses to a voluntary relinquishment of custody.
