I am surprised that the same Court that is going to hear the support and custody petition is also hearing the storage issue -
No, I wouldn't say the Judge would believe the mother more than the father. There was a time when custody pretty much went to the mother but things have changed. The Judge will go with the better parent and that will be based on the proof. I have seen instances when one parent or the other is basically pond scum (pardon the expression!) but not a danger to the chiled and the parent does get visitation. He would have to expose your child to some danger - the rest of his personal life and what he says matters little. It's unfair but at least that's how it is where I live.
You can also ask the Court to appoint an Attorney and Social Worker to investigate the circumstances - they act as a Guardian (in legal name only) for your son and they recommend a course of action to the Judge.
You must be frightened - I think you have to take a deep breath, keep records, get your evidence together. Your son is fortunate in that you apparently love him so much and you have to keep it together in order to fight for him.
And I wish you luck -
