Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I am a single mom, planning my son's future. My son's father refuses to have anything to do with my baby. My son is 9 months old. We (my son n i) just moved in wit my parents, n I filed for child support, but my real question is on custody...if i was to pass away suddenly, if i had a will in place naming my parents guardians of my baby n explaining why i want it that way, will it hold up in custody court? I am a young mother, n so I'm looking to purchase life insurance and so forth, but since my son knows my family now, i would like to take care of this now...

Even if you designate a pre-need guardian in the event you die the father could step up and get custody. Father vs anyone else father will win unless his rights are terminated.
