I have a son and the Mother and I were living together. I recently found out that the Mother is currently on drugs. I want legal custody of my son so that I can make the best decisions for him.
It's not clear to me from your question whether you and the mother have now separated or whether you are still living together, but assuming you are in a separate residence then you can simply contact your local Juvenile & Domestic Relations District Court to schedule a time to file a petition for custody. The intake workers there will help you do it. Or you can hire a lawyer to file your petition for you and represent you in court.
