Legal Question in Family Law in Tennessee

Temporay Child Custody

My husband has filed for divorce and I am waiting to be served so I can take his divorce papers to my attorney. Can I get custody of my son until the divorce is finalized and child support ordered? I'm afraid he will try and keep him when I move out.
