Get over it..the kid doesnt want you!
If the son wants to I believe he can. In my state (Georgia) the child can choose who he/she wants to live with at the age of 14.
The parents have to go back to court to file a modification of the custody order. They should also terminate any child support order that obligates the father to pay child support
The only way would be to do a personal agreement between the mother & father, ideally having it filed with the court.

If the Mother spends more time with the child than the Father, she is most likely entitled to child support.
Unless you are the mother or father of this child, the easiest way would be to make a report with Child Protective Services, who would evaluate the mother's home, if your accusations are founded, and can make a recommendation for a change in custody to the court.

Either parent can have physical custody in a joint custody arrangement. If there is a court order granting the mother physical custody the father should notify the court of the mother's incarceration and have that order modified unless he wants the mother to resume physical custody when she is released.
