You didn't disclose your son't age. Depending on his age, the child can voice his preference on the custodial parent. However, if there are safety and security concerns because of the mother's drug problem, the judge may ignore his preference. You may consider hiring an attorney to guide you through this process. In the alternative, you can request a guardian ad litem to protect the interest of your son and a home study. If there are drug problems the guardian ad litem and home study should disclose it.
