I live with my son. We have no agreement on custody. She has used in the past and I don’t have any doubt she still is.

Are you on the birth certificate? Did you sign a VAP? If the answer to those questions is no, then you first have to file an action to be declared the father. In that action you can seek custody. If the answer to those questions was yes, then you have to file an action seeking custody. Neither are simple things to do. It is best to at least consult with an attorney.
