At 13, the judge can interview and listen to his preferences, but will still determine custody based on the best interests of you son, not what he wants. If you have ever filed for domestic violence against your husband, or have any other proof of abuse, the judge will take that into account. In your case, if you can afford an attorney, you should hire one. If you cannot afford one, contact an abuse shelter in your area and ask for referrals to low cost or free legal services. This is too important an issue for both you and your son for you to attempt to handle it without help.
