I am not a Lawyer, but I am a Social Worker.
Court Order trumps it all.
Is his mother aloud to punish him for chooseing to come to my house rather then stay alone at home? Of course the work punish means many things. If is is any kind of physical or verbal abuse, than of course no. It sound like a very bad parenting decision to punish a 14 year old for visting his father. However, without seeing what is in the court order, your questions are hard to answer.
You really need to talk to your Lawyer and ask him/her all these legal questions. Sounds like you want a relationship with your son. Find out what kind of relationshipe your son wants with you, then do whatever you can to make that happen.
If your son is 14, he can probably "babysit" himself. If you are talking about another younger child, you need to abide by any court order in that case also. If there is nothing legal, and your wife can provide excellent supervison and care for your child, has nothing in her history involving hurting children erct. then she should be able to babysit. Just be ready for a possible reaction from your ex and weigh if it is worth it. Bottom Line....make it about you son. He comes first! Good luck!

Is my son in control?
Does this mean that my son, who is 14, can choose to come to my house at any time or am I still bound by the court order? Is his mother aloud to punish him for chooseing to come to my house rather then stay alone at home? I'm wondering if it is all my sons decision on when he sees me or can his mother enforce the custody order at any point she decides to? Her boyfriend lives with my son and his mother, can the boyfriend tell my son not to come to my house? Does my wife have the right to baby-sit my son without my sons mothers permission?

It sounds as if there's no structure with your situation. You must abide by the court order and stick with that. If his mother has no problem with him coming around beyond the court order then ok, but if she disapproves you must follow the rules. As far as the boyfriend goes, he has no say in the matter. That should only be between you and your ex.
