Depending on what the terms of the final judgment are, you could file a motion for contempt to enforce your rights per the final judgment. you probably might also want to consider filing a petition for modification of custody with the basis that your exhusband is no longer able to adequately care for your son. I don't know what your circumstances are as opposed to his, so more information would be needed in that respect.

Immediately file a petition to modify parenting plan based on what's happened to your ex. At the same time, file an emergency motion for temporary custody. You should hire a lawyer to help you.
