A lot depends on whether your son has filed any sort of paternity, has he file an acknowledgement of paternity?
You might be able to petition for custody, but it would be difficult. You would need to start by getting certified as a potential foster parent.
You are in a mess, and you need an attorney. Your situation involves major factual and procedural issues. These are issues that we can discuss. If you are interested in pursuing the matter further, I off an initial 1/4 hour consultation without charge, and a 1/2 hour consultation for $50. If you want to set an appointment for the initial consultation, feel free to telephone, or email, my office; as you are outside of the Salt Lake area, we can handle all of this by phone.
