If you really fear she will leave the country with your son, you should file and serve her right away. The Family Law Summons included an automatic restraining order against removing children of the marriage from the state. Then you can sort the rest out.

As for chances of getting custody, there are a whole lot of variables that can't be taken into account in this kind of format. You'll need to consult a Family Law attorney for an evaluation of your case.
