You can Petition the Court to modify the current custody order. Your son's opinion isn't binding on the court, but at age 16 should mean a lot.

If there is a court order granting the father custody, we will have to petition the court for a change in custody.

If you really want him with you, you need to file a motion to amend the custody order.
