We've been living in the same city for 5 years, same school district, same friends etc . He starts high school soon and I want him to have a permanent place. His mother hasn't had a permanent place for the last 5 years.

Plus she hates me, hasn't paid me a dime in 5 years and is convincing him to hate me too. I just want I guess an order to return to the status quo.
The problem is that now, the status quo is that he lives with mom. Therefore living with you is no longer status quo. That is why its unlikely that he will be returned to your primary custody.
