It sounds from this description that, as a practical matter, you have full custody. The legal context, and what proceedings exist or are contemplated, is not clear. Also unclear is whether there is a marriage involved and, if so, whether there was or is a divorce action. There are too many unknowns to be definitive, and you probably want to have a full consultation with a family law specialist, but in the meantime, you might find useful information about custody, support, and termination of parental rights at the linked web site pages.
