The kid isn't old enough to make decision about what he wants.

From what I have seen, the judge won't just change custody on a whim. It's always about the best interest of the child, and flipping them from one sole custodial parent to another sole custodial parent is not in their best interest. If the child has a stable loving, healthy home, the judge may give the other parent more time with the kid, but isn't likely to hand the kid over to his father unless there is some issues with the mother's parenting.
If the father is using money as a means to control his exwife, it will show him in an unfavorable light.
Having a kid for extra time in the summer isn't enough to constitute a permanent deduction of support payments.
