Marriage certificate is not mandatory if other evidence of marriage is there. Contact your husband and convince him for MCD so that you can get divorce in 6 months.

Do not worry. Kid will be with you. Court favors kid to be with mother.

If in these 5 years your husband has not met his own child , it is a clear evidence of neglecting the child and not wanting the child. The child was cared for and maintained by you, both in terms of his emotional and economic needs for all these years. All these years you have brought your son up as a single parent without any support from your husband.

First check if your husband agrees to a divorce by mutual consent and is ready to pay for the child's and your maintenance.

If not file for divorce and convince the court of the above facts. The court will always consider the welfare of the child while granting the custody.
