Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa

my sons dad just told me he is taking me to cort. he hasnt been involved in my sons life that much because whenever he says hes going to come see him something comes up like his car isnt working or he doesnt have the money. he hasnt paid any child support and my son is almost 10 months old. i just resently got married and were going to be moving to arizonia. also my husband has provide more for my son then his dad is. we are getting ready to put my son on my husbands insurance. my sons dads mom hasnt wanted anything at all until just the other day. i have told them many times that they are more than welcome to come see him whenever they want. they want him for a weekend but i dont want to sent my son with people he doesnt know and i dont know how safe it would be for him. also my sons dad doesnt ask about him much either sometimes its once a month or ever couple weeks and sometimes he'll get on kicks were he'll ask about him just about everyday but that doesnt last long. what should i expect as the outcome of going to cort? and what documents do i need to have in place if he should fallow through with this?
