If the mother is going from home to home, she isn't homeless now is she? As to getting custody, file a civil suit for custody.

You need to file an action for custody or (if there is already an order granting the mother custody) a motion for modification of custody.

This can be accomplished by filing a motion for modification of custody with the court. You can expedite the process by retaining an attorney to assist you.

Depending on the circumstances, you could file for an emergency temporary custody order based upon risk of imminent harm to the child, and then also file for modification of custody based upon the mother's unstable lifestyle.

Yes, the parents are the persons with rights to the child unless there is a court order. You may need to file an action if she will not cooperate.
