No but if it goes to court the judge will probably hear what he wants but the court is not obligated to follow his wish. Until he is 18 it's his parents who decide which of them he will live with. If he wants to live somewhere else he will need their consent.
Yes. Contempt of court is a tool for a judge to force compliance with the judge's wish. Generally once you do what the judge wants, the contempt charge will be dismissed. Incidentally, in many states Contempt of Court is the only crime with no maximum penalty. You can spend the rest of your life in jail one day at a time.

Yes. As long as the mother and the court agree.
As trite as it sounds - turn yourself in IN PERSON. The judge wants to see YOU - not your attorney.
File for emancipation. Call the county court house and have them direct you to the correct department.
Unless the judge ask for it or the child lives in a state where he/she is old enough for a judge to listen to, the child will not be heard. It's the parents or court who decides custody and the child can not choose. If the child will be heard he/she has the right to say whatever they want.ClarificationCourts rarely require a child to testify in a custody matter and if they do, the judge is more likely to speak with the child privately rather than have them "testify" in court. The child cannot be "called as a witness" for one party. If the judge wants to speak with the child the parent cannot refuse. In most cases the judge will order an evaluation by one or more court appointed professionals (psychologist, pediatrician, social worker, attorney, etc.) who will then submit a report of their findings and recommendations to the judge to assist her/him in rendering a decision. The judge will then, in some cases, interview the child.
i would take him to court. i would let the judge decide who the car belongs to.
A judge can order child support from the father if a court-ordered DNA test proves that he is the child's father.
