Legal Question in Family Law in California

Child Custody when parents aren't married

I am thinking of leaving my sons mother. What are my rights and what would be the best way to get custody of my son. She has threatened to harm me if I try to take him away. I might be able to prove that she could not provide a good upbringing. We have never been married and we have been living together for just over 7 years. Please provide the information I need because I need to make a decision quickly.

Thank you
