Me and my ex were never married and had a child together. The father shows no want to be in my sons life and is now trying to get custody. He has violence and drugs on his criminal record. As well as no license and no permanent place of residence. He has not seen his son in almost a year by his own choice and does not contribute financially. I am sole provider of my son and can offer more than my ex. Is there any way that my ex could obtain custody of my son? Also, what would they consider in the best interest of my son?

It is extremely unlikely that he would obtain custody, especially since he has no permanent place of residence. Permanence and consistency are strong factors in considering the best interest of a child. However, this is a serious matter and you definitely need to consult with a lawyer.
