Bismillah,
As-salaamu alaikum ,
Insha'llah, make dua to Allah (guidance prayer), what I suggest, is that you do seek full custody, (the offspring should not have to be deprieved of islam, because of his mother's or father's sins and weaknesses.
Especially because he is male as yourslef, and if you are indeed practicing islam. You must not never keep your offspring away from their mothers, but explain to them that their mothers or fathers are weak muslims, they need Allah's help, and not to disrespect their parents. Also, you must keep a good relationship with your offspring, not to get back at their other parent, but to keep them closer to yourself than, the weaker parent.
Patience prayer peace, and no matter what your children will love you for allow them to see the other parent.
you must teach your child to love his parent without obeying her. or him, if they don't obey Allah andHis Messenger (saaws).
Custody, yes for sure, tyour child will need your directions for sure, with a mom or dad who s not the straight path.
May Allah join us in righteousness and keep us all from wrong-doings...amin!
as-salaamu alaikum wa rahmantu'llah
