yes
I'm assuming you are the father and a fit parent and then yes, you would probably get custody.
If there is someone who has custody of a child and can no longer care for the child, they need to give the child to another family member. The local DHS office can help find family members to take care of the child.
You will need to go and talk to an attorney. The courts will place custody where they think the CHILD's interest are best served. They will take in consideration (perhaps what the child wants) your circumstances, your X wife's circumstances and her health.

If a child doesn't want to return home, it's important to understand their reasons for feeling this way. It could be due to issues like conflict at home, feeling unsafe, or being mistreated. It's essential to address the underlying concerns, involve appropriate support systems like social workers or counselors, and work towards finding a solution that ensures the child's well-being and safety.
At 18, the person is no longer a child. He/she is now an adult not a child. No custody order can be enforced on an adult.
No, if the mother voluntarily gives cutody to someone else, she can no longer be paid child support because she no longer has custody of the child. What happens now is the father can obtain custody because he does have rights or the person who has custody and have legal guardianship can file for assistance in which child support can be included or filed.
You both will have to see a lawyer and fill forms , as she no longer wants the child now, but two years from now she may change her mind so do it safely and makeit clear that from now on you are the full custodial person of the child.
Get over it..the kid doesnt want you!

If there are no other family members, and you are no longer able to care for this nephew, the only remaining alternative is for him to become a ward of the state. Contact the child welfare agency in your state.
