Legal Question in Family Law in California

if someone is 21 years old and dated a 16 year old (about to turn 17 in 2 months), for almost a year and half, then 21 year old finds out she is pregnant, can the mother of the 16 year old get custody or press charges against the 21 year old? this is in the state of california. the mother knew the couple had been dating for almost a year, though the mother thought the 21 year old was only 18 due to her son lieing about the real age of the gf. then the couple broke up and the mother of the 16 year old also told her son he was to no longer to see the girl anymore anyways. 2 months later they got back together and son kept the relationship hidden from his mother. 4 months after getting back together, now the present, the 21 year is pregnant. can the mother press charges or file for custody of the child?
