Absolutely!!! If you can prove that in fact the child was abandoned, you have every right to get custody. Get the child and go to court the next day and don't leave until you have the order in your hands.

If she abandons the child, yes.
Go to court to obtain custody and an order for support.

I suggest you return to court to get sole custody and an order for support, if there isn't already one in place.
You have the right to file for a change of custody with the court. You will have to present convincing evidence that the child's mother is unfit to retain custody of the child. Frankly: It is a stiff burden of proof to overcome to convince the court to remove a child from its mother's custody.
Even though the mother is underage she still has custody of her child as long as she does not do something to get custody taken away from her
lost the child to whom?
When married you have equal rights to the child.
