Yes it is possible for the mother to get custody, if she can prove that the child is better off with her. Custody can change at any time, regardless of where the parent live. Some judges might put limitations on somethings, but yes it is possible.

Can your boyfriend get custody over you and your son if he is 19 years old?

Yes, when you marry him. No, he doesnt get custody over you and your son just because he is 19. If your married to him you and the boy are dependents, meaning he is financially responsible. Just being boyfriend and girlfriend has no legal boundaries. He doesnt just get the baby either. The mother usually has the inherent rights over baby unless father takes her to court to fight for custody.
