A judge may listen to your son, but it's very unlikely that a judge will let your son decide where he can live. It takes a lot more than a 16-year-old's choice to change custody.
On the other hand, if you think your son is better off living with his dad, then that decision is between you and the father. Beware, though, if you allow a custody switch, you may end up paying child support. There is no legal right for the father to "waive" child support.
