A: The father can file for custody. He needs to talk with an attorney about this, as he has to sue both the mother and the people the children are living with.
A:
He has to file a petition to modify custody and child support. He should hire a local lawyer to handle the matter.
Also, because the child is 16, the child"s wishes on custody will be considered by the court.
