what steps do i need to take to get custody of my son even though i am not the biological parent. what will i have to prove will i have to take a drug test do i have to have a job what rights do i have ?

If you are not the child's parent, you do not have priority in a custody dispute with a biological parent. If the custodial parent is unfit and this is proven by CPS, the child can be awarded to another family member. But since you are not related to the child and are not his parent, you don't have any rights.
