Re: child
Of course the father can claim his son. The court would consider all circumstances, and then theoretically, would do what is in the child's best interest. I assume your brother has a relationship with your son that is closer than the father's. If not, then he needs to get involved so that he can point to that relationship should something happen to you. Also, it would be best if you filed for sole custody in court and have a Judgment giving that to you. The court will try to grant your wishes in your will, and if you have sole custody, then whomever you choose will probably get custody.
