More details to this question:
My sons dad has never met him. He’s 4 months old. We had a toxic relationship before I got pregnant and couldn’t get along during pregnancy. He is now trying to take me for full custody. He has felonies, and is an ex lawyer who also has drug chargers. I have a clean record. He is using my PTSD from my childhood sexual abuse against me. And my postpartum depression.. which I am seeing a counselor for. He’s 37 with no kids. I’m 25 and have a 5 year old as well a 4 month old. I have never got my kids taken from me, or put them in harm.

A felony doesn't necessarily mean that a parent won't get primary custody, but it's not a good look. Custody determinations are highly fact-specific and it is possible that there could be other reasons for him to be named custodian.
