It is not likely you would be able to exclude the father entirely, but you likely do have enough to see a change like a standard possession order for the father. There are a lot of factors that go into it, and I suggest calling an attorney to discuss it.

If you are indigent then yes. The judge will determine that based upon an affidavit.

There has to be a custody suit filed and a motion for the judge to confer with the child. Technically, this can be done without a lawyer, but it would be difficult. The judge is required to consider the child's opinion, but it is only factor in the judge's decision.
