In order to get custody and visitation and childsupport ordered though the court you will need to file for a divorce if that is what your wanting to do. You can ask for sole custody or joint custody however if he has had a restaining order against him you might want to tell the judge that and ask that he gets limited or supervised visitations. You can consult with an attorney and if you can't afford one you can try to get help though free legal services. They deem your incom but they will let you know when you talk to them if you are eligiable. I am sure your going to be granted custody the court does not usally take a child away from the mother.
