You need to meet with a family law attorney in person and discuss your options.

The 16 year old can be interviewed by the judge in chambers and discuss why he wants to live with you.

Since mom voluntarily let the child come live in your home, it won't be easy for her to argue that she should keep custody.

Hire a tough, smart attorney!
