Re: child support/custody
The answer to both of your questions is yes. Sole custody is not guaranteed, but under these circumstances, at the least, there should be restrictions and supervision. Obviously, if he is removed from the US, there will be difficulty collecting the support, but you should still have the court orders in place to protect you and your child in the future. Get a lawyer.
