Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

I have shared custody of my 9 year old son with his mother. She has remarried, and her husband is a liar, a thief, and a bully. He is directly responsible for anxiety my son is suffering from, for which he recieves counseling, as a result of his harassing my son when my son tells me what is going on over at that household. He is taking child support money i give for my son (which is substantial) and using it for for a house in Florida. I have had a restraining order against this guy for threats against me. I want this person out of my son's and my life. I don't want my son living in an environment being influenced by a liar, thief, bully. My son and I shouldn't have to deal with this. Its worse than described here. Can the court do something about this?

Yes, there can be filed a complaint for modification to gain custody of your son. Although from what you state here there appears to be grounds for such a change I would have to review the matter fully before knowing which course of action to take is appropriate. You can contact my office and we can discuss the matter if you want to.
