Re: custody
If your father has no objection, the court should not have one but they (your parents) will have to file an agreement as to physical custody. However, if your father objects you will need to have Court approval.
As to college, if you are accepted as a full time student, you can ask the court to compell your parents to assist you in paying for college.
It would be in your father and mother's interest to let you earn money for college as long as the job is safe and makes sense.
: custody
You have not stated what your mother wishes and what she has or intends to do.
