Re: child custody
First, how does mom feel about the son finishing up school with you? If she's agreeable then go for it. If she is not agreeable you may lack standing to seek custody. That said at age 17.5 the court will actually listen to the child. He does have standing to ask the court permission.
Given all that its best you seek an attorney to do this for you.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
