More details to this question:
Me and my husband have been separated March of 2009. I moved home with my parents and he has been in jail since June of 2011. He is being incarcerated for physically beating up his brother and mother. I am scared when he gets released that he will try to take my child from me. He has provided no support for the minor child.

In order to ask the court for custody when you are still legally married, you must first file for divorce. Once you file for divorce, the court has authority to grant temporary sole custody in emergency situations or to order another custody arrangement that is in the best interest of the children.
