A: You should continue to get your son any and every opportunity that you can. And be sure to DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT. Try working with the father and maybe an agreement can be worked out. While there is a court order you must abide by it unless your son is in imminent danger which it doesn't sound like he is. You certainly do not want to be in contempt of court and set yourself back after you have come so far. Good luck to you.
