Yes.
Yes. The legal custody of a minor can only be affected or changed by a court order.
A child does not need to be abandoned by their mother for a father to be awarded full custody. If the father can demonstrate before a judge that the mother is unfit to parent, the judge can award him full custody of the child.
If custody has not yet been decided by the court the child can express his wishes but the judge is not required to follow them and the judge will make the final decision.If custody has not yet been decided by the court the child can express his wishes but the judge is not required to follow them and the judge will make the final decision.If custody has not yet been decided by the court the child can express his wishes but the judge is not required to follow them and the judge will make the final decision.If custody has not yet been decided by the court the child can express his wishes but the judge is not required to follow them and the judge will make the final decision.
most likely he will lose his rights til the judge decides what is best for the child.
I assume that the "ex-boyfriend" is also the father of the child. If you believe that he lied to gain custody, you can file a motion/petition for a custody re-hearing and be prepared to demonstrate that he lied, and that you are a 'fit' mother to have custody of the child.

That's up to the judge. see link
The judge can grant split custody of both parents live in the same school district as the child. However, the judge will take many things into consideration before he rules. An attorney can answer any questions you have about custody issues.
Your question is too broad. Generally a judge determines custody based on the facts in the particular case and the best interest of the child.
That is up to a judge.
Yes you may challenge custody order.
In Alabama, a child cannot be a judge to change custody. Custody decisions are typically made by a judge based on the best interests of the child, taking into consideration factors such as their age, preference (if mature enough), and the ability of each parent to provide a stable and supportive environment.
