Unfortunately, this is a personal choice which you must make. No attorney can make is for you. If you do remove your son from the policy, he will no longer be able to drive your car. If he does and gets into an accident, your carrier can deny coverage and refuse to defend you, which would make you personally liable for any damages.

That seems like a decision you need to make, I certainly can't tell you how to care for your kid nor how to spend your money. However, what I can suggest is that you consider having a DUI attorney discuss the case, a DUI conviction is usually not the only possible outcome.
