Legal Question in Family Law in California

Child Custody
Divorced in 2004. To get out of a bad relationship, she moved 3.5 hours away and in with her parents in February 2006, and took our 7 year old son with her. I wasn't wild about her moving him away and in retrospect I should have kept our son. At the time, we shared custody 50/50, one week with me and the next week with her. There never has been any custody order. He wanted to live with his Mom so I let him go. Now I regret letting him move as I have a hard time convicing his Mom to let him spend time with me. She let me have him only three weeks last summer.
So, my questions are; Is it unreasonable to want him for an entire summer when she moved him away? And, do I have any shot at getting custody of him if I take her to court?
She has moved 5 times over the last 3 years, three different boyfriends, and 4 different jobs. Meanwhile, I have remarried, same job, & same home. Do any of those facts, including her limiting my time with him help my case at all? I'm getting really tired of having to ask her permission to spend time with my son and getting tired of her ever changing circumstances including where the two of them are going to live. Any advice would be appreciated.
