Since they are both in his life now, I think they should continue to share parenting responsibilities. I do think they need to establish that Regina is "Mom" and Emma is "Emma". Regina raised him for most of his life and the curse brought Emma into his life. I know Regina gave them that year of being mother and son but it doesn't change the fact that Regina adopted him, raised him for 10 years, loves him dearly and is to all intents and purposes his mother. Emma is his mother but she's come in at a later date only because Henry sought her out to break the curse. I would love for A&E to address this more definitively than they have.
Following American adoption rules, Emma would have no legal claim to him and would have to let Regina have custody of him since technically she is his mother.
However, this is a TV show and they are a family whether they all like it or not.
