text: She had custody of the child initially because he didn't ask for it.  If he had, then there would have been a custody agreement.  It sounds like one is needed now.  Probably she will have permanent custody & he will have visitation rights.\n\nI sure hope that they can come together & provide the child with a stable and loving home environment.  The last thing any child needs is to have parents fighting over him.  Or should I say, using him to get back at each other.
