Tell your son to relax- no court will give the mother sole custody with no visitation rights to the father unless there is an extremely good reason to keep the child away. In fact, if the mother persists in trying to keep the child away from the father, your son might be able to get custody. In any case, to be safe, he should file a petition in the county in which the child lives for custody, and think about settlling for shared legal custody to both parents and physical custody to the mother, with a schedule of frequent visitation for the father.
