All things are possible but it's not likely you could get sole legal custody. I don't know what type of custody you have now but you certainly could ask for sole physical custody.
Have you filed an order to show cause to get the back child support? You can get a judgment and a garnishment order. If you are on any kind of assistance you can ask CSED (Child Support Enforcement Division) to get go after him for child support. If you qualify financially, Law Access New Mexico can help you - they are a telephone help line that can help you find out what papers to file. In albuquerque call 998-4529.
