Legal Question in Family Law in California

What are my chances of moving & getting custody of my son?
Avery-2 year old son, no custody established
Lindsay-wife as of (6/28/01)-on & off drug (crank) addict for 5 years (off 4/99-11/00)
She left me 12/00.
During 12/00, 1/01, and 2/01 she saw our son 10% of time
During 3/01-11/01 she saw him1% (her choice)
Before marriage through 3/01 we planned to move to Santa Cruz so I could go to UCSC for film school for 2 years to get BA & then move to LA for my career.
I was accepted-UCSC for fall 2001-in 3/01 due to my wife�s leaving I instead decided to move to LA in 8/02.
I told my wife this so she would have time to plan for it & she said she would try to move w/me.
7/01 she signed a paper stating that I can move to LA as long as I do it before 2003 & even if she doesn't move she can't force me to stay here 600 away. She now says I conned her to sign the document by telling her that I would get back together with her (which is what she wanted in 7/01, regardless of that fact that she abused me and I had to pry a knife out of her hand once)
2 weeks ago Lindsay went to rehab for 1 day, then quit & moved to her mom�s.
She�s been off drugs for 2 weeks & seeing Avery.
She now refuses to move to LA or give me full custody.
What are my chances of being able to move with my son?
