Why would you consider letting your son go live with a drug user? Just because the child wants to live with the dad, doesn't mean it's going to happen. The judge still has final say and most of the time they rule in the child's best interest, not necessarily what the child wants.

Same rules apply in America BUT the child does not automatically get their way. They may request to live with one parent vs the other, But the court will only allow it if there is no reason to believe it is contrary to the best interests of the child. If your ex has all these assets, why have you not gone after him for back child support before now? Chances are, if the court approves the switch, they will not allow you to 'off set' your support requirements with his back amounts owed. They are two seperate issues.
