He'd have a hard time convincing a judge to diminish his payments to you just because he has the kid extra during the summer.
To take custody from you, he'd have to prove you are an unfit parent. He may be able to increase his ability to have a say in more of the visitation, etc.
And what your son prefers will play a big part in the judges decision. There's no point in taking a child from a perfectly good, happy home, and make him miserable.
If he misses a payment, you should get on top of it fast & go to the DSHS.
If he professes to do right by his child, then threatens to cut off the child's support, that shows the judge an immature streak. He's only digging himself into a hole.
And make sure you let him know you are getting leagl counsel. I bet he backs down with his tail between his legs.
If he does take you to court, make sure there are no more 'verbal' agreements, and that everything is down on paper.
