Rights of Custodial Parent

I have full custody of my 16 yr old son, joint custody of 2 girls. My son is the typical rebellious teen. When I tell him to do chores or be home at a certain time, he disobeys me and flees to his mothers. I then took away the old pick up from him. He started staying with his mother as per usual. She gave him the use of her vehicle, without insurance, may I add. She lets him do whatever he wants and imposes no curfews. He comes in at all hours, even on school nights. I found out that his girlfriend is pregnant and he is contemplating quitting school. I told him as long as he had to have my signature to quit, he could forget it. When I try to throw my foot down, and tell him he has do to such and such, his mother withholds my girls from me. I get them 5 days one week and 2 days the next week. That way my ex and I see them the same amount of time. That is until I upset the boy. The ex is manipulating to no end. Recently, I was told I could not pick up or deliver the youngest girl from school anymore. The older one was OK, just not the younger. I must bear the ex's whims concerning the girls as she is primary for them. But someone please tell me what are my rights concerning the boy. PLEASE help!
